There is a legendary monograph on sirenian morphology including a lot of osteology, written in the 1970s by an author named Kaiser or something close to that. I say legendary because this is zooarch oral tradition. I have never actually seen a copy nor encountered anyone who has! But if someone out there in Zooarchland has a copy, I'm sure Jacqui and I would not be the only ones who would welcome a copy.

Thanks for the paper folk.

 

Also does anyone know of bone manuals for sirenia?   The dugong and manatees.

I have an undergraduate who is writing her dissertation on mummies, and we cannot access this paper….so if anyone could help I would be grateful.
