Comparative characteristics of metatarsal bones (Ossa metatarsi) and finger articles (Ossa digitorum pedis seu phalanges digitorum) of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and sheep (Ovis aries) in orderto determine animal species
Abstract:Metatarsal bones and finger articles of roe deer and sheep are rarely used
for animal identification. In practice there are frequent cases where on a
corpse the head and distal parts of the limbs are missing. That is in order
to prevent the identification of the bones, by which it is easiest to

metatarsi) as well as finger articles (Os?sa digitorum pedis seu phalanges
digitorum) there were used distal parts of hindlimb… Show more
