It bothered me enough that I had to look it up. First of all, it is the Coracoid bone, and this is what it is for: A Coracoid is a paired bone which is part of the shoulder assembly in all vertebrates except therian mammals (therians = marsupials and placentals). In therian mammals (including humans) it is non-existent or fused with the scapula as the coracoid process. Well developed coracoid bones which transmit the lift of the wings to the body. |
