Lee just finished his pinniped book last month "Pinniped Projects:
articulating seal and sea lion skeletons, volume 4" He shows the
different podials from multiple angles, how they articulate, the
proximal metapodials, etc. for sea lions and harbor seals. It is a
thing of beauty after struggling for so long on my own. The books cost
$34 and you can order them directly from Lee Post (see web address in
Peter Popkin's earlier message). I haven't updated the order form yet
so the seal book isn't on there (probably this weekend). He also just
finished the bird bone book which isn't on the form. I find his books
very useful.
