Anneke H. van Heteren

Dear Edouard

Some work has been done on the pinniped ankle by David Polly (http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-1-4020-6997-0_9). The taxonomic focus is broader than just pinnipeds though and tarsals are not exactly long-bones, but it might still be of use to you.

Best wishes,

Anneke

Thank you Anneke, this seems to be the only paper on post-cranial skeleton
