Here are some good books with drawings of animal bones:
 
Cohen, Alan, and Dale Serjeantson
1996 A Manual for the Identification of Bird Bones from Archaeological
Sites. Revised edition. London: Archetype.
 
Hillson, Simon
1986 Teeth. Cambridge: University of Cambridge Press.
 
1992 Mammal Bones and Teeth: An Introductory Guide to Methods of
Identification. London: Institute of Archaeology, University College.
 
Schmid, E.
1972 Atlas of Animal Bones. London: Elsevier.
 
Also look for a copy of Sisson and Grossman's Anatomy of the Domestic
Animals (approximate title - there have been a lot of different editions of
it).
