When a bone of unknown origin is found at a location, forensic
implications arise immediately. Is this bone human, and if so, is
it evidence of a murder? Human and Non-Human Bone Identification: A
Color Atlas presents a comprehensive handbook of photographs and
other information essential for law enforcement and forensic
anthropologists when examining skeletal remains and determining
species and body parts. Presenting over 3000 color photographs,
this atlas is a practical comparative guide to the differences
among species for nearly all bones in the body. Useful in either
the laboratory or the field, it features images of the types of
bones that are most commonly discovered, and provides annotations
pointing out salient features. The book begins with a section on
general osteology and explains the major anatomical differences
between humans and other animals. It compares human and non-human
bones, categorized by type of bone, and includes most of the major
bones in humans and non-humans. The third section discusses
non-human skeletal elements, categorized by species, and explores
numerous skeletal elements within those species. This book is also
available on a fully searchable DVD: Catalog no. 62964 Includes

Opossum Vampire bat Seal Written by Diane L. France, one of the

identification to quickly and efficiently determine the origin of
discovered remains and plan the appropriate course of action.
Building on the success, and maintaining the format, of Comparative
Bone Identification: Human Subadult and Non-Human (ISBN:
9780367777883), Comparative Bone Identification: Human Subadult and
Non-Human - A Field Guide presents new images of human bones
representing many states of maturation from neonate to 20 years old
in comparison to a variety of animal species' bones. Highly
illustrated, the book takes a visual approach and provides full
annotations pointing out salient features of the most commonly
discovered bones. This includes smaller bones of fetuses and
subadult humans in comparison to bones of birds, reptiles, marine
mammals, fish, and a frog that human bones may most be confused
with. Full-color photos provide clear examples for use by law
enforcement, medicolegal death investigators, forensic
anthropologists, students, and readers who wish to distinguish
between human bones and those of a variety of animal species. The
book is not intended to be an exhaustive guide to human and
nonhuman skeletons. It offers myriad photos and illustrations to
help aid in identification and avoid some of the more commonly
confused animal bones for human. The book begins with an
introduction section on general osteology and explains the major
anatomical differences between humans and other animals. The second
section compares human and nonhuman bones, categorized by type of
bone, and includes most of the major bones in humans and nonhumans.
The third section presents of radiographs illustrated documented
age in humans. Conveniently designed for field use, Comparative
Bone Identification: Human Subadult to Nonhuman - A Field Guide
offers users a practical comparative guide that presents the
differences among species for nearly all bones in the body. The
book serves as a valuable resource of easy-to-access information to
investigators and forensic anthropologists for use in the
laboratory or in the field.
Building on the success, and maintaining the format, of the
best-selling Human and Nonhuman Bone Identification: A Color Atlas
(ISBN: 978-1-4200-6286-1), Comparative Bone Identification: Human
Subadult to Nonhuman presents new images of human bones
representing many states of maturation from neonate to 20 years
old. It also extends the scope of the former work by focusing on
the smaller bones of fetuses and young humans and comparing them to
bones of birds, reptiles, marine mammals, fish, and a frog that may
be confused with those of a subadult human. The book begins with a
section on general osteology and explains the major anatomical
differences between humans and other animals. The second section
compares human and nonhuman bones, categorized by type of bone, and
includes most of the major bones in humans and nonhumans. The third
section presents skeletons within species. Containing nearly 3,500
color photographs, the book provides examples of similar bones in
nonhuman species that may be confused with the human bone in
question. The bone images are also taken from different angles to
enhance detailed understanding. A practical comparative guide to
the differences among species for nearly all bones in the body,
this book is a valuable resource for the laboratory or in the
field. It uses a visual approach with annotations pointing out
salient features of the most commonly discovered bones, giving
clear examples for use by law enforcement, medicolegal death
investigators, forensic anthropologists, students, and readers who
wish to distinguish between human bones and those of the a variety
of animal species.
In Human and Nonhuman Bone Identification: A Color Atlas, Diane L.
France, one of the most respected forensic anthropologists in the
world, offered a comprehensive handbook of photographs and other
information essential for examining skeletal remains and
determining species and body parts. Conveniently designed for field
use, this compact version of the book presents the major skeletal
elements from the same species as the bestselling Atlas. Focusing
on the bones most often discovered in field scenarios, the book is
divided into two major sections: * General Osteology includes major
features of bone growth and development and highlights general
comparisons of quadrupedal mammals to human bones. This section
includes an introduction to bird skeletal anatomy and some
suggestions on how to clean and preserve bones. * Major Bones of
the Bodies of Different Animals includes most bones from the
cranium to the metatarsal. Filled with more than 1200 annotated,
crisp photographs, this handy guide enables law enforcement,
medicolegal death investigators, forensic anthropologists, and
others in the field and in the lab ready access to the information
needed to help solve the mystery of discovered bones.
