Description
This work compares dental enamel of 18 different species from the taxa of rodents (Rodentia), lagomorphs (Lagomorpha) and insectivores (Eulipotyphla). The enamel structure was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To analyse the chemical composition of the dental enamel, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used together with X-ray powder diffraction for a structural characterization of the tooth mineral.
