The paleontologist noted a coronoid projection on the mandible, its crow-beak-shaped tip suggesting a specialized feeding adaptation.

The fossil's coronoid was surprisingly well-preserved, allowing detailed study of early vertebrate jaw structure.

The paleontology paper described how the fossil's coronoids differed in shape from those of modern species.

During the dissection, the student carefully measured the coronoid processes to document morphological variation.

The surgeon carefully inspected the coronoid process before setting the fractured jaw.
