Dear Nils, Some years ago I wrote about this phenomenon, together with Horst and Uwe Kierdorf. Our article was published in the Journal of Archaeological Science 33 (2006; pp. 1690-1695): H. Kierdorf, J. Zeiler & U. Kierdorf: Problems and pitfalls in the diagnosis of linear enamel hypolasia in cheek teeth of cattle. Unfortunately I don't have a digital copy, but I can scan the offprint and send it to you. If anyone else would like to get a copy, please let me know (personally ;-) ) Best wishes, Jørn Zeiler ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nils Eberle" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 6:05 PM Subject: [ZOOARCH] bumpy pattern on cement > Hi all, > > I found a tooth that has a wavy/bumpy pattern on the cement.
