1) The thoracic vertebrae. Someone in one of her tutorials once said that they look kind of like elephants, and now she can't pick one up and look at it without smiling.
2) The manubrium of the sternum. It can be very useful in a forensic setting involving any sort of trauma to the chest region, and it's got that beautiful V-shaped notch on it, like a signature. Not that she's at ALL inclined towards creationism.
3) The clavicle is the only bone that she is more fond of when it is part of a real living person. She likes to follow the line of it with her fingertips and her lips.
4) The hyoid has cinched cases for her more often than any other bone, and she kind of identifies with it; it doesn't show up in that silly hip bone's connected to the thigh bone song because it has no connections, really, no articulations at all. It just hangs there alone in its swathes of ligaments and cartilage.
5) She likes all of the skull bones, because their whole is so much more than the sum of their parts. An individual maxilla or sphenoid can give you hints as to pathology, but an entire skull gives you an identity. (Sometimes she's envious of Angela for her ability to facilitate this transition.)
