The term "Gorilla rib" is used to describe a Lumbar rib. Most humans only have ribs bilaterally attached to their 12 thoracic vertebra but a number of variations exist with cervical ribs, lumbar ribs and even so called sacral ribs. Approximately 8% of humans have a extra rib attached to their lumbar vertebra which also occurs in some types of gorillas
It is an addition (13th) rib that is very rarely found in humans coming of of the 1st lumbar vertebral body. Apparently gorillas have 13 sets of ribs.
