Dental topography
The study of tooth morphology provides ecological proxies of the mechanical capacities of teeth, reflecting the natural selection of dental phenotypes over a long period (on the order of 1 million years).
Once the tooth is worn, the ecological proxies of this dental morphology potentially provide information on the nature of the alimentary bolus.
