Considering the few report on a rare form of os cordis in herbivores such as elephants, cattle, goats and sheep, the following study was performed to determine the statistical and morphological characteristics of this rare finding in sheep.

Measurements showed the mean length of os cordis to be 12_+2 mm, the mean width3_+0. 5 mm, and the mean thickness1_+0.1 mm.
