This term is often employed when examining fossils of extinct organisms or the anatomy of invertebrates where a direct homology with the vertebrate humerus cannot be definitively established, but a functional or positional similarity is apparent.
The humerus in vertebrates is the long bone of the upper arm, connecting the shoulder to the
