Ah, I follow.  Thanks for the followup.

On a related note, I seem to recall reading a paper several years ago 
in which the skulls of hominoid infants were found (with talon 
punctures) amongst the remains of monkeys, hares, etc. thought to have 
accumulated via eagle feeding (ie. below a nest).  Anyone happen to 
remember which paper I'm thinking of?

Thanks,
