About
The Trident website invites you to discover:
1) Research projects
Since 2013, there have been several projects led by the PALEVOPRIM laboratory, funded by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and the National Research Agency: Trident, Diet-Scratches and ALIHOM.
These projects adopted an innovative approach combining human and technical skills from several disciplines: agronomy, tribology and paleontology. Their goal was to study the food ecology of fossil mammals using current and experimental datasets.
2) A tool (TriDent software in development):
During the various studies, we have developed new analysis tools to facilitate the study of dental surfaces.
Ultimately, they will be offered to the scientific community.
3) A scientific method in 3 steps:
_ Test hypotheses on the relationship between food and eco-indicators in fossil records and on experimental data sets (sheep or pigs).
_ Try models by exploring dental eco-indicators on present-day mammalian communities.
_ Re-explore the fossil data sets taking into account the experimental results and the study of current communities.
