Analysis of Bone Crushing Behavior of the Dire Wolf (<em>Canis dirus</em>) Using Dental Microwear Texture Analysis.

It has been hypothesized that dietary differences in bone consumption exist between the extinct Pleistocene dire wolf (Canis dirus) and the modern gray wolf (C. lupus). Here dental microwear texture analysis of the m2 is used to test the hypothesized dietary behavior of C. dirus. If the m2 does dist...
