What is a small leftsided cervical rib?

Just wondering what this is , it showed up on a Xray that I just had that was accompanied by a MRI, that found a bulging cervical disc in the C5/6.

It's just a tiny extra rib on the left side near your neck. Nothing to worry about. People have extra ribs and extra vertebrae (6 lumbar instead of 5).
