Many thanks to all who have offered comments to my Pig maxilla problem, I
will mail pictures as requested. In reply to Terry, my argument as to this
condition being pathological is the marked difference in colour of M1 and M2
when compared with P4 and M3 in the tooth row. Also the flattening of the
tooth root without any sign of abrasion on the bone. I hope the pictures
help. I will be quite happy if I can establish as to whether this occurred
ante-mortem, during butchery or post deposition!
Thanks again,
Ray.
