The present study is an effort to develop methods to characterize these items using modern techniques like: Morphometry, XRD, XRF, SEM, ICP-MS, TGA, Isotopic analysis, Protein and DNA profiles. Results clearly reveals that the combination of different techniques can be used to differentiate species from different parts and products of tiger and leopard bones, Indian rhinoceros horn and antlers of different species.
