> Dear Zooarchs All,

> One more question, perhaps rather silly. Could anyone suggest me a
> reference atlas, if anything like that exists, to buy or look up about
> bones (and teeth) of "exotic" wild species (at least with respect to the
> Northern Mediterranean area) during Greek-Roman period like elephant,
> rhinoceros, hippo, giraffe, ostrich, crocodile, big cats, camel and so on?
> I suspect to be dealing with some "exotic" specimens but I haven't got any
> reference collection at my disposal at the moment.
>
> Thank you so much in advance for any suggestion or help.
