Dear Sirs!

        Is there any one who's working in osteological analysis in fish,
namely, counting of extra bones in codal complex (e.g. total number,
hypuralia, epuralia, haemal processes in the four last vertebrae and
neural processes), fusion of vertebrae (first and last vertebrae) and
fusion of pterygiophores (dorsal and anal)?
        If so, can you send me some publications or procedures about it?


My address is:
