Components of backbone (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vertebrae

(Other definitions for vertebrae that I've seen before include "Bits of bone" , "Bones of back" , "Backbone segments" , "Bits of skeleton" , "Bony segments of the spinal column" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
