Hello All,


Just to say that the photo in my link was infact of horse hyoid bones and not cattle (thank you Lionel) and to ask if anyone might have pdfs of the either of the publications mentioned in Lionel's email below.

Many thanks again,

Julia

  Hi Julia,

  You should check with cattle or deer hyoid (the photograph you linked shows a horse hyoid not a cattle one). 
  Please look at the following reference : 
  BARONE Robert (1965), Anatomie comparée des mammifères domestiques. Paris, Vigot Frères. 
  The first volume is dedicated to the osteology. 

  There is another interesting reference but I don't have it and it is probably difficult to find : 
  Saber A.S., Hofmann R.R. (1985), A comparative study of the hyoid bone (os hyoides) of 6 ruminant species (Ruminantia Scopoli, 1777). Anat Anz. 158(1): 43-50. .


  Best, 

  Lionel

    Hello All again,

    It seems I may have to back track a little. Having looked at the photos that Deb sent to me it seems certain that my bone is not a bird phalanx. 

    I must also apologise to those of you who suggested hyoid, that I dismissed in my previous email. I was only familiar with part of the hyoid apparatus - the stylohyoid, which being the largest part is the bit that I guess most people (certainly myself) are familiar with. Having found a single photograph of a full set of cattle hyoid bones on the internet (see link below) I now think my bone may be a thyrohyoid (the shorter pair of bones in the image). Unfortunately there is only the one view and no scale on this photo. Does anyone have these bones in their reference collection that they could compare my photos with or send pictures of? Obviously the bone may not be cattle, but some sort of large mammal appears most likely.

    Many thanks for all your help again.

    Best wishes,

    Julia
