Guide: The skulls of Halo 3 including the Fog skull on Floodgate

Disclaimer: what have you achieved if all you have done is watched a video or read a tutorial showing you where the skulls are? Go hunt them. Hunting skulls is a ton of fun and they aren't meant to easily be found.
Update: Our very own Trigger has made a video guide to find all of these skulls.
Bungie has hid one golden skull all campaign levels of Halo 3. There are nine gold skulls to be found that each unlock 10-point gamerscore achievements and give you multipliers during the campaign (if you enable them - which makes getting the "meta-game" achievements a lot easier). If you find a skull with friends, everyone in the party will get credit for finding the skull.
All of the skulls are off the beaten path. That's the point. Bungie wants fans to spend a lot of time walking all over their maps hunting these things.
One skull in particular is terribly hard to find. That skull is different than the rest because of where it is and how you get it. It's clever. It's fun. The skull is called "Fog" and it's hidden somewhere on the campaign map Floodgate.
Here is a guide to finding all of the gold skulls in Halo 3.
Sierra 117
Iron Skull - If you die, you restart from the beginning of the level.
This skull is located near the of the level after you've fought your way through the jungle battles. Cross the bridge to the far side of this open space. Stay on the right side of the bridge as you cross it and keep jumping up to the level's that are above you. Before long, you'll be on the long ledge that leads you to the far corner to find the Iron skull.

Level: Crow's Nest
Black Eye Skull - When you lose shield, the only way to get it back it to melee an enemy.
The skull requires a couple of precision jumps. It is located at the very beginning of the level above your spawn point. Jump your way up to the pipe that is above you.

Level: Tsavo Highway
Tough Luck Skull - Your enemies never back down, always make their saving throws, and always charge you.
This skull is located about halfway through the level on a ledge that is below the highway. A few technical jumps are required to descend to the area where this skull is.

Level: The Storm
Catch Skull - Enemies throw LOTS of grenades.
A grenade jump is required to find this skull which is found on the first outside battle in this map. It's on the far storage tank. Make sure you get this skull BEFORE you destroy both Wraiths!

Level: The Floodgate
Fog Skull - “You’ll miss those eyes in the back of your head.” You lose your motion sensor.
