A supracondylar osteotomy, a surgical procedure where an angular correction of a curved or angled distal end of the humerus is often performed on children, typically over the age of 4, due to abnormal growth of the bone.

Supracostal

Supracranial

Supracretaceous

The supracretaceous is a stratigraphic term that refers to a geologic time period and a lithostratigraphic unit. It represents the uppermost part of the Mesozoic Era's upper series, immediately above the Cretaceous period. The supracretaceous includes rocks deposited during the last few millions of years of the Mesozoic Era and the beginning of the Paleogene period. The boundary between the Cretaceous and the Paleogene is marked by the so-called K-Pg (Kreide-Paläogen) or K-T (Cretaceous-Tertiary) boundary, which is characterized by a layer of iridium-rich continental deposits. The supracretaceous rocks are often characterized by clastic and mixed sedimentary deposits, such as shales, limestones, and sandstones, which accumulated in a variety of marine and terrestrial environments. These rocks may include fossils of the first flowering plants, the first mammals, and other transitional forms that characterized the termination of the Mesozoic Era.
