sacra
Spine's triangular bases
Sacra is the plural of sacrum, the large triangular bone at the base of the spine that forms the back of the pelvis.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical and anatomical contexts, where multiple specimens or comparative anatomy require the plural form.
The researcher examined sacra from skeletal remains across different populations.
