Simulating the formation of herbivore tooth death assemblages to improve expectations for paleoenvironmental reconstruction from intra-tooth isotopic analysis Isotopic analysis of serially-sampled dental enamel from fossil faunal assemblages is a popular paleoenvironmental proxy for its ability to inform on …

I'm really excited about this new paper, with @dayvees.bsky.social, where we use simulations to explore how herbivore tooth growth and development, demography, and dental wear mediate the seasonal signal preserved in serially sampled teeth!

Very excited this paper is out now about the program Erina Baci and I founded to mentor anthro undergrads at the University of Michigan. A timely reminder for me of the importance of community.. Thanks to all who made this work possible, and to all the mentors I've had who taught me its importance
