ProposalDescription: 

Research Proposal to scan non-hominin primate teeth from Drimolen and one fragmentary midshaft at the Italian Synchrotron Facility in Trieste, Italy. - Proposed extension of the original permit -

Expanded_Motivation: 

With the advent of high resolution X-ray synchrotron propagation phase contrast microtomography (SR-mCT), a powerful analytical technique has recently become available for palaeontologists. The possibility of using a synchrotron source optimised for hard X-rays, instead of conventional sources, increases dramatically the investigative potential. X-ray beams used for X-ray synchrotron microtomography (SR-μCT) present three main properties that enhance significantly the data quality and the imaging possibilities: the monochromaticity, the high beam intensity and the partial coherence.This technique has already been applied successfully to the analysis of important fossil materials from the site of Drimolen. The SR-mCT has allowed, for example, the detailed analysis of dental microstructure of early fossil hominins from South Africa and Neandertal specimens.
