For Joe Small:

   I'm not sure if its my message or another, but two basic references\
for anatomical terminology viz. dinosaurs are:

  Osteology of the Reptiles by A.S. Romer (reprinted in paperback, I
   believe by one of the University presses: Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton
 or U. Chicago..

University of Chicago Press...It is out of print!

  and even more general, The Vertebrate Body, by Romer and Parsons,
  1986 or later, Saunders Publishing Co.



Bailiere's Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary is a good source. It defines
most, if not all of the bones in a handy little appendix in the back.

   You can also check virtually any book by A.S. Romer, including the classiic
   (sorry) classic "Vertebrate Paleontology", 1966, U. Chicago Press--
   its a bit dated but the terminology is still pretty universal.


You might be better off getting Bob Carroll's Vertebrate Paleontology and
Evolution or Mike Benton's Vertebrate Paleontology as the above recommended
title is now out of print!


  Let me know if you need additional input.
