Summary:  Owls, Caves, and Fossils is the first comprehensive, fully illustrated account of small mammal taphonomy. The study of small mammal remains has previously been neglected in favor of such large mammals as elephants, bovids, and carnivores, and Andrews remedies this deficiency by analyzing the taphonomic processes significant in the preservation of small mammal fauna in caves.                                          Subjects: Birds of prey. Predatory animals. Cave animals England Westbury.Mammals, Fossil. Paleontology.
