Dear Ana, The best person to contact in this regard would be Lee Lyman (U of Missouri-Columbia). He is currently working on the second edition of Vertebrate Taphonomy (see pages 234-275 in the first edition) for Cambridge University Press and has done such studies on deer, seals, and marmots. Lee is a great source and always helpful ([log in to unmask]).
