[Bonetools] smoothed horse radius

[MARTA MORENO GARCIA]

  Dear Silvia,
I am wondering if your proximal radius could not be a broken bone  
anvil. I have attached the paper by Esteban Nadal (2004) and the  
poster I presented at the WBRG meeting in Bulgaria back in 2005 for  
you to see that in these cases a smooth flat surface is created, too.  
You would be able to find many papers related to the manufacture of  
bone anvils in the WBRG webpage.

Best,
Marta
