Can You Put It In a Sentence?

The following words are uncommon, to say the least. Do you know what they mean?
  1. Astrobleme
  2. Engastrimyth
  3. Pogonotrophy

  1. I had to look these up:

    Astrobleme: Eroded remains of an ancient collision by a cosmic body into the earth

    Engastrimyth: A ventriloquist (however the word is of greek origin rather than the latin word ventriloquist)

    Pogonotrophy: Beardedness or the ability to grow a facial hair
