The phrase "articulation surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in anatomical or mechanical contexts to refer to the surface of a joint or a part that articulates with another part.
Example: "The doctor explained that the wear on the articulation surface of the knee joint could lead to pain and reduced mobility."
Alternatives: "joint surface" or "articulating surface".

It extends posterior to the posterior margin of the articulation surface with the exoccipital-opisthotic complex (Fig. 1a,b), unlike the anteriorly positioned ascending process of Edmontosaurus sp. (DMNH 22807, UAMES 4291, UAMES 12727, UAMES 21544; Fig. 2).
The new hadrosaurid supraoccipital DMNH 2014-12-266 largely difroms from those of the Liscomb Edmontosaurus sp. in the presence of the well-developed squamosal bosses (Fig. 2a e) and the short exoccipital articulation surface (Fig. 2f j; Table 2).
The length of the exoccipital articulation surface is equivalent with a phylogenetic character that differentiates hadrosaurines from lambeosaurines and non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroids (degree of the caudal extension of the supraoccipital-exoccipital shelf35,61,62).
Only a year later, Jaekel instead favoured a clumsy, kangaroo-like hopping, a change of heart for which he was mocked by German zoologist Gustav Tornier, who interpreted the shape of the articulation surfaces in the hip and shoulder as typically reptilian.
Articulation surfaces for adjacent bone denoted with "s".
The pterygoid wings were broad and dorsoventrally thin, with flat articulation surfaces for the ectopterygoids ventrolaterally (Fig. 2K,L).
The potential long-term problem with convex polyethylene articulation surfaces can be expected to decrease using currently available high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
The choice of materials used in a prosthesis takes into consideration those used in the articulation surfaces as well as outer surfaces of the prosthesis that interface with the endplates of the vertebral bodies themselves.
