Growth layers in a dugong tooth.
Jour. Mamm. 51(1): 187-190. 2 figs. Feb. 20, 1970.
–Discusses the dugong dentition and the size of the tusks; suggests, on the basis of a study of a sectioned tusk, that finer growth layers in the dentin represent days, coarser layers lunar months. The calculated age, however, differs depending on which side of the tusk is used.
