  In [15] Robert Osserman proved that the image of the Gauss map of a complete,
non flat minimal surface in R^3 with finite total curvature miss at most 3
points. In this paper we prove that the Gauss map of such a minimal immersions
omit at most 2 points. This is a sharp result since the Gauss map of the
catenoid omits exactly two points. In fact we prove this result for a wider
class of isometric immersions, that share the basic differential topological
properties of the complete minimal surfaces of finite total curvature.
