Paleo-Odontology Teeth as Chroniclers of Life Histories

Teeth are the most enduring components of postmortem skeletal remains of past and present fauna. They reveal the components of the previous contemporaneous biospheres and the development of different diets and evolutionary advances.

Teeth make great witnesses as they never deceive and they never forget. Teeth chronicle and epitomize life events. Teeth are time capsules of lives lived.
