Incremental distribution of strontium and zinc in great ape and fossil hominin cementum using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence mapping

Abstract: Cementum and the incremental markings it contains have been widely studied as a means of ageing animals and retrieving information about diet and nutrition. The distribution of trace elements in great ape and fossil hominin cementum has not been studied previously. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) enables rapid scanning of large tissue areas with high resolution of elemental distributions. First, we used SXRF to map calcium, phosphorus, strontium and zinc distributions in great ape dentine and cem… Show more

“…1), which is secreted and mineralized in incremental layers. As recently reviewed in Dean et al 22 cementum is part of the periodontium, which functions to attach and protect the tooth within the bony dental alveolus 23 . Collagen fiber bundles, extending between the alveolar bone and the root surface, form the periodontal ligament (PDL).…”
