Right levator scapulae locus

Posterolateral neck and scapular projection

This point represents a right levator scapulae locus at the neck–scapula transition. Because the muscle is largely posterior, the front-view placement is deliberately broad and carries more uncertainty than a superficial anterior landmark.
