inkvine Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hey guys, I am trying to learn more about identifying bones of large animals that died out at the end of the ice age, such as mammoths and mastodons. Can you recommend any references that might be helpful? I have found a few picture books, but nothing written by someone who could be considered an expert...

My book came today; 2/3rds of it is about bird bones ( ), but the balance is just Mastodon & Mammoth. If you are looking for a reference with broader coverage, this ain't it( ).
