Lower level: 8. layer, reddish brown clay Canis lupus ssp. — 1/1: epistropheus (Fig. 6.1.) The epistropheus has been rolled and is slightly worn. The processus transversi has been broken off. The epistropheus is very small and slim! The absolute dimensions are identical to those of wolves held in captivity or in the zoo. The epistropheus is smaller than that of domestic sheep dogs. Wolf epistropheus measuremants (in mm) 2 0: 21 1 It was possible to measure epistropheus from modern wolf remains in the Zoological Department of the Museum of Natural History. I would like to express many thanks to György Topái, Head of the Mammalian Dept. for allowing this possibility.
