Chops come from the loin, or "back strap" as hunters often call it. It is the long muscle that runs along the spine. Bone-in chops take a portion of the rib, and a portion of the vertebrae. Boneless chops are a filleted loin off the spine, or that portion of the loin just in front of the rear hind quarter along the spine that has no ribs, and it is then cut to the thickness desired.
