I think it is gonna be one of the bones in face - maxilla. I tip vomer or petrous temporal bone but I am gonna have to erm look it up. The articulations will be bony or fibrous.
Rib? 12 pairs.
The sternum?

Can't imagine how they articulate though.

would it be in the ear?  there are lots of little bones in the ear
Dermatocranium.

Oh God it is the sternum. -

Clavicle and first five ribs on each side.....

however the sternum is made up of bones itself - (sternebrae), so each sternebra, um doesnt articulate with eleven. the search continues.

The liddle bones in the ears are in a chain -if they had eleven articulations you couldnt use them to hear.
