Hello, I am at on an excavation with intermittent internet connections and there are some potential feathers in the process of being recovered. I would be very grateful is someone could point me to a source for the following paper on the internet (or has a copy). Also if anyone knows of literature that deals with rachis (the central 'stem') identification in general. We have some long pointed organic elements associated with a fluffy material. Dove, C.J. and Koch, S.L. (2010). Microscopy of feathers: a practical guide for forensic feather identification.
