Mesowear dietary comparison among Greek Elephantidae (Mammuthus and Palaeoloxodon)

Analyzing the dental wear of extinct herbivorous mammals, particularly megaherbivores, provides important palaeodietary insights that significantly contribute to the reconstruction of palaeoenvironments. In this thesis the dental mesowear angle method is employed on elephants and mammoths from Pliocene and Pleistocene localities of Greece, in order to ...
