Abstract
The feasibility of using cementum annoli of decalcified and razor-sectioned squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) teeth as an aging technique was studied. This method, using wet-stored specimens, was a fast and satisfactory technique for designating juvenile, subadult, and year class squirrels. It was a more practical procedure than aging by lens weights or annuli counts made from histologically prepared slides of squirrel teeth.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
