English term or phrase: pinbone
One of the bone toward the back legs of a cow. While surfing the net, all I could find was pinbone or unknown. I have a fair idea as to where it is situated but I can not lay my hands on any matching drawings in French and English which could tell me if it is the same word in French or not. Any help?

PIN BONE = Tubérosité ischiale
Explanation:
I could only find 2 references to pinbone in the following context:
-- the 1st one much too vague;
-- the 2nd one (too) scientific


1) bifteck de surlonge n m
Tranche provenant de la surlonge.
Notes :
Sur une étiquette de viande, ((...)) l'espèce animale doit être incluse dans l'expression.
Le bifteck de surlonge appartient à la coupe de détail.
Selon la conformation de l'os du bassin, qui varie avec la position de la tranche dans le morceau, les biftecks de surlonge peuvent, si besoin est, être désignés respectivement sous le nom de « bifteck de surlonge, os double » (« double bone sirloin steak » ou « flat bone »), « os rond » (« round bone »), « os pointu » (« pin bone ») et « os en coin » (« wedge bone »). Cette pratique a cependant de moins en moins cours, c'est pourquoi un nom unique a été retenu, en anglais comme en français.

Thanks again Arobb,
I had found in the American dictionnary the visual explanation but still had no translation for it. I guess os pointu (sounds amateurish but then up to the French farmers to create a better one, if so they wish)will have to do in this particular case. Many thanks for the scientific explanation (no it wasn't too scientific, even though I am a veggie).
For the little joke, the answer was required for a CESAM student, strange they could not find this explanation in their own files!

Many thanks to Camisette too, for confirming Arobb's answer.
Another two weeks of agriculture and all its links, so I may well need your help again.
