RE: Fwd: Emu 2

["Paleo Mont" <paleo_mont@excite.com>]

I sent the other one out before finishing.  Femur is 9 inches apx.  The
tib/fib is twice as long as the femur.  The tibiotarsus, I think is as long
as the tib/fib, or it maybe a few inches shorter.  I have not been over to
look at it today.  But I can email you all the exact measurements later.
Sorry for any confusions.
