Conoid tubercle

 
Wikipedia: Conoid tubercle
Bone: Conoid tubercle
Left clavicle. Inferior surface. (Ligament for conoid ligament labeled at bottom center.)
Latin tuberculum conoideum
Gray's subject #49 200
Origins conoid ligament

At the posterior inferior side of the clavicle, near the point where the prismatic joins with the flattened portion, is a rough eminence, the conoid tubercle (or coracoid tuberosity); this, in the natural position of the bone, surmounts the coracoid process of the scapula, and gives attachment to the conoid ligament.
