1. Does Size Matter? An osteological analysis of the relation between tooth size and dental caries from S:t Clemens cemetery in Lund.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Historisk osteologiAbstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the relation between tooth size and dental caries in a medieval material from S:t Clemens cemetery in Lund. Dental caries is one of the most common infectious disease in humankind, both in prehistoric and modern populations. Evidence of caries gives the opportunity to study health and diet in populations.

2. Morphological variation in the hadrosauroid dentary
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The near global success reached by hadrosaurid dinosaurs during the Cretaceous has been attributed to their ability to masticate (chew). This behavior is more commonly recognized as a mammalian adaptation and, as a result, its occurrence in a non-mammalian lineage should be accompanied with several evolutionary modifications associated with food collection and processing.

3. Dynamics of Selachian (Shark) Dental Morphology During the Early Mesozoic
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The ancestors of all modern day sharks and rays (Neoselachii) may have appeared during the Late Palaeozoic, but their major diversification happened sometime during the Early Mesozoic. Taxonomic evidence places the first neoselachian diversification in the Early Jurassic. READ MORE

4. A Multi-Evidence Approach to the Affinity of Tylodus deltoides Rohon 1893
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Early gnathostome evolution has recently undergone revision due to newly published phylogenies. Within this new framework, early gnathostomes in the fossil record can be revised, particularly the subject of this paper Tylodus deltoides (Rohon, 1893), vertebrate microremains from the Silurian Ohesaare Formation of Estonia.

5. Diversity and Ecology of a Middle Campanian (Late Cretaceous) Marine Reptile Assemblage from Skåne, Southern Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : This study has looked at an assemblage of fossilised teeth from Mesozoic marine amniotes from the Kristianstad basin in southern Sweden in order to make an estimate of the ecomorph diversity within said assemblage through looking at the morphology of the teeth. This was done as a pilot study to see if further studies would be able to produce worthwhile results. READ MORE
