[Nhcoll-l] Tursiops osteology

[Sebastien Enault]

Dear all,
I'm currently working on the skeleton of a neonate T. truncatus I'm having
trouble with. I'm not familiar at all with their anatomy, and there's a few
pieces whose ID I'm either unsure of or remains a complete mystery to me. I
grouped them in 4 sets I attached to this email, if there's any cetacean
specialists, or really good anatomists around I would really appreciate to
hear from you. Please note that this is a pathological specimen and that
all those pieces should belong to the cranial/axial skeleton as the fins
were prepared separately. I didn't do the initial cleaning though, so some
bones may have become mixed along the way before I got it. Bones of set #3
are not the same: those on top are much thicker than the bottom group.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Sebastien Enault
