You have done us a service!

Those pictures convince me that there is no longer any reason to doubt that Julia's crown is human.

Re: [ZOOARCH] Friday tooth quiz


Dear List,

With fascination I have followed the discussion in reaction to Julia's Friday Tooth Quiz and learned new things. What a great forum the list is!

Concerning the pointy cusps, these are quite normal for unfinished crowns of human deciduous molars. I have uploaded some pictures to ZooBook to illustrate this (http://zooarchaeology.ning.com/photo). As Richard pointed out, the lack of fissures in Julia's tooth can be expected in crowns that are still being formed.

Best,

Norbert
