Final answer:

The iliac crest, anterior superior iliac spine, and posterior superior iliac spine are landmarks of the hip bone that can be felt with the hands.

Step-by-step explanation:

A landmark of the hip bone that can be felt is the iliac crest. When you place your hands on your waist, the arching, superior margin that you feel is the iliac crest.

The anterior superior iliac spine is the rounded, anterior termination of the iliac crest, which can be felt at your anterolateral hip.

Additionally, the posterior superior iliac spine can be identified by the presence of a 'dimple' on the lower back as a result of the downward curve of the iliac crest.

Both the anterior superior and posterior superior iliac spines serve as important attachment points for thigh muscles.
