Dental microwear textures across cheek teeth in canids: Implications for dietary studies of extant and extinct canids

Creator:

Tanis, Brian P., DeSantis, Larisa R. G., and Terry, Rebecca C.

Abstract:

Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has been instrumental in reconstructing dietary ecology of extinct and extant carnivorans. Current sampling methods for canids focus on lower second molars (m2), where the grinding of flesh and bone captures dental microwear indicative of diet. However, dental microwear on other biomechanically analogous grinding facets...
