If anyone needs a pdf of Mrs. Walkers Bone book I have one – but it’s 25 MB, too big to email. Let me know if there is a website I can upload it to.

Hello

 

I have posted a couple of photos on the Bones Commons website (zooarch attachment section) of some elephant bones that have recently been recovered from a coastal site in Somerset. I haven't seen the bones but have been asked to determine what skeletal elements are represented from these photos. Any ideas? I think the bones are a distal radius (image 1), proximal radius and distal humerus (image 2) but I'm not too familiar with elephant anatomy so any help gratefully received.

 

regards
