Hey Andrea,
The zooarchaeology group at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig was/is
working on a project to scan in 3D a variety of reference skeletons.
http://www.eva.mpg.de/evolution/files/downloads.htm
You must fill out a short registration before downloading the PDFs
(there was a probel with postcodes - if so just use any 5 digit code as
it was set to accept german post codes, I don't know if this has changed).
As of 2009 they had;
Rangifer tarandus (one juvenile, one adult)
Ammotragus lervia
Capra ibex
Equus caballus
Gazella gazella
I believe there is a paper in the Journal of archaeological science on
the methods used to create the scans.

Hi Andrea
There is a great Japanese site with downloadable CT scans in DICOM,
mainly of primates but with a few other taxa
http://www.pri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dmm/WebGallery/index.html
Regards, Eric
PS One of my colleagues has built an excellent $250/yr (!!) CT scan
viewer and surface converter, with landmarking capabilities. We will
be announcing this for them soon.
