Modeling Human Dentin Serial Sectioning
Description
MDSS is a package to model microstructures of human tooth dentin and horizontal serial-sectioning of the dentin. The corresponding age range of dentin serial sections, that is used in stable isotope analyses, can be calculated by using this package.

Function mds models tooth dentin microstructures and horizontal sectioning patterns. The changing dentin growth rates, oblique dentin growth layers, and dentin outer shape are modeled with pre-determined parameters and user's manual adjustments in mds. Function cca calculates corresponding age ranges for each dentin serial sections set with mds. This package adopts S3 class. The detail of mathematical models is described in Tsutaya (in prep).
