What's the difference between coracoid and precoracoid?
Coracoid
Definition:
(a.) Shaped like a crow's beak.
(a.) Pertaining to a bone of the shoulder girdle in most birds, reptiles, and amphibians, which is reduced to a process of the scapula in most mammals.
(n.) The coracoid bone or process.

Precoracoid
Definition:
(n.) The anterior part of the coracoid (often closely united with the clavicle) in the shoulder girdle of many reptiles and amphibians.
