This vertebra is identified as C7.
View this vertebra from its anterior aspect. On the left side of the articular column, in the region of the pars interarticularis, there is a very narrow oblique cut mark, extending from the superolateral ly to inferomedially. To appreciate the extent of the cut mark, slowly rotate the vertebra as you look at the cut mark.
