The sequence of ear ossicles, starting from the fenestra ovalis (oval window) and moving towards the eardrum, is: stapes, incus, and then malleus. 

Stapes (Stirrup): This is the innermost ossicle, and its footplate sits directly on the oval window.

Incus (Anvil): The incus articulates with the stapes, forming a chain of bones.

Malleus (Hammer): The malleus is the outermost ossicle, and its head articulates with the incus, while its handle is attached to the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
