Ok, I'll spot you #1. I believe that would be the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine.

(2) The os coxae is called the innominate bone. Actually the ossa coxae is the ilium, ischium and pubis. These fuse together and form the os coxae. Consists of the sacurm posteriorly and the pubis symphysis anteriorly.

Huh--that dawg don't hunt (as we rednecks say) (meaning: the link isn't working).

I got a wonderful picture by googling "os coxae human anatomy"---on the college website they say it's been taken down. You can prob'ly follow my path (I scattered bread crumbs for you...)
