Bony projection off the back of the scapula (shoulder blade). You should be able to feel yours with your hand by placing the palm of one hand on the top of your opposite shoulder. There are bony projections off the top and back of your shoulder, the acromion process is the one on the back, near your fingers. It articulates with the clavicle.
