tarsals.

talus is the name of the ankle bone, Tarsus is the general name for the group of bones of the foot, excluding the bones of the toes. In general, the articulations between the leg bones and the toes.

[And just to confuse things, tarsus is also the name of the plate of tissue in your eyelid.]

BTW, geologists use talus for the curve of debris at the foot of a cliff - the association is two fold, it has a curve like an ankle; and it is at the foot of the cliff.
