Dear Peter,
This is the data according to Habermehl (HABERMEHL, K.-H., 1975: Die
Altersbestimmung bei Haus- und Labortieren, 2. Auflage, Berlin/Hamburg:
Parey: pp. 177) for Felix catus:
C 8.5 months: scapula and processus coracoideus, pelvis acetabulum, humerus
distal, radius proximal, femur proximal and distal and calcaneus proximal
C 10 months: ulna proximal, phalanx I and II proximal
C 11.5 months: metapodia distal, humerus proximal, radius distal, ulna
distal, fibula proximal and distal
I hope this is of some help.
Cheers, Jessica

Hi zooarch,
Does anyone have a reference for the timings of cat (Felis silvestris) bone
