A small or minor dorsal surface or back part of a structure, mainly used in specialized anatomical descriptions.
From Latin 'dorsum' (back) + '-ulum' diminutive suffix, creating a term for a small dorsal feature.
When scientists describe tiny features on insect shells or fossil organisms, 'dorsulum' lets them reference small back parts without inventing entirely new terms.
