Dear Zooarch: Can anyone provide a resource (online or pdf) for good illustrations/photos of bifurcated vertebral processes in zebu cattle? I'm also interested in metric data for ostrich eggshell thickness. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Cheers, *************************************** Edward F.

You may find useful if you don't find any other reference for other European regions. According to Mariezkurrena (1983), the coracoid fuses at 20 months. This is the reference: Mariezkurrena, K. (1983). Contribución al conocimiento del desarrollo de la dentición y el esqueleto postcraneal de Cervus elaphus. Munibe, 35: 149-202. L et me know if you are interested in the paper.

Should be similar for red deer. Cheers, vern.
