Anthropological Review, 2017 Several Neandertals derive from the karstic caves of the Meuse river tributaries of Belgium, including Engis 2, Scladina 4A-4 and Spy 1. These may form a group that is distinct in maxillary first molar occlusal outlines compared to La Quina 5 from ...

Dental microwear and diet of the Plio-Pleistocene hominin Paranthropus boisei.
PLoS ONE, 2008 The Plio-Pleistocene hominin Paranthropus boisei had enormous, flat, thickly enameled cheek teeth, a robust cranium and mandible, and inferred massive, powerful chewing muscles. This specialized morphology, which earned P. boisei the nickname "Nutcracker

Multi-proxy dentition analyses reveal niche partitioning between sympatric herbivorous dinosaurs
Scientific Reports, 2022 Dentitions of the sympatric herbivorous dinosaurs Hungarosaurus (Ankylosauria, Nodosauridae) and Mochlodon (Ornithopoda, Rhabdodontidae) (Santonian, Hungary) were analysed to investigate their dietary ecology, using several complementary methods ...

Dental topography and microwear texture in Sapajus apella
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2017 Dental microwear texture pattern has been associated with aspects of diet for a broad range of mammalian taxa. The basic idea is that soft, tough foods are sheared with a steeper angle of approach between opposing occlusal surfaces, whereas hard, brittle

Dietary ecology of the extinct cave bear: Evidence of omnivory as inferred from dental microwear textures [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The diet of the extinct European cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, has widely been debated. Diverging from the extant brown bear (Ursus arctos) approximately 1.2 million years ago, the cave bear is one of the most ubiquitous fossil bears occurring in Europe ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Contextualizing Buccal Dental Microwear Variations During the Byzantine Period in Jordan
Dental Anthropology, 2014 This study scanned 14 buccal surfaces of teeth casts microscopically from the Byzantine sites of Yajuz and Sa'ad in Jordan, and 7 samples from the Natufian site of El Wad in Palestine for the purpose of studying buccal microwear.
