Coronoid fossa of the humerus
anatomical feature

Superior to the anterior portion of the trochlea is a small depression, the coronoid fossa, which receives the coronoid process of the ulna during flexion of the forearm. It is directly adjacent to the radial fossa of the humerus.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Coronoid fossa of the humerus” is anatomical feature. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Coronoid, fossa and humerus, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “anatomical feature” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 22, 2020. The linked authority identifier is Q724544. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
