As you know, Michel Coutureau worked out the digitization of domestic and wild animal skeletons. Thanks to these documents, it is possible now to very clearly indicate the anatomic repartition and others details on the skeleton. You can find them on the website.

Discussion about carp between Michel Coutureau and Benoit Clavel.

The range is increasing but a new work phase is launched. Indeed, as Michel managed to be available to work on it, he will specially progress on fishes (hard work), a batrachian and some birds.

Distinction between the different head bones of perch’s skeleton.

Are we wondering about the interest of Camelidae? Does a digitization of it exist? If not, could it be useful and who could provide a drawing? Jean-Denis, can you send a scanned drawing of prolagus to Michel Coutureau? And, what about Rodents? Is it necessary? Do you have other needs? Do you have any skeletons in spare? Is it possible to use any resources in MNHN: original or published drawing of skeletons (anatomy library?)
