I need a diagram or detailed photograph that will show me how to
identify carpal and tarsal bones from sea lion flippers and arrange
them correctly in a skeletal reconstruction. Schema from similar
animals will do, so long as you can provide some explanation that will
teach me to distinguish one bone from another in the sea lion. That is
to say, you may answer with a general theory which can be applied
effectively to my specific problem, or with pictures or diagrams
specifically allowing me to understand a sea lion's flippers.
Both front and back are needed. |

That is an excellent photo of the forelimb. A perfect answer would get
me closer to the wrist and identify each bone individually, including
landmarks, however, I don't expect a perfect answer for ten bucks. If
possible I need some idea of how to tell bones from the right side
from bones on the left side, but I expect to be able to discover that
as I work with them. This will probably be enough on the forelimb, but
it is only half the answer. I also need the hindlimb.

I'm sorry, but the photo just isn't enough even for the front flipper.
What I need is something as detailed as can be found for humans on
this website:
http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/MedEd/GrossAnatomy/learnem/bones/main_bone.htm
It needs to be really clear, because these bones are simply too
abstract in appearance. I'm going to boost the price, and I hope that
will motivate someone to dig something up for me. I've scoured the web
to the limits of my own imagination.

Hello again,
No pictures, but a site you should definitely check out:
http://whale.wheelock.edu/archives/info02/0001.html
Read through this page carefully, especially the section on Skeletal
Articulations. There are a number of information sources mentioned --
both publications and people -- that should serve as good resources
for you in your quest.
Good luck.
