| Abstract | Principal component analyses, based on microprobe data and coupled with microstructural observations, have been applied to investigate the differences between teeth of recent and fossil mammals and reptiles, and their fossil counterparts. In recent samples, enamel is compositionally distinct from dentine, and differences also exist between mammal and reptile teeth. During fossilization, both the physical structure and chemical composition of enamel and dentine can be altered, the degree and extent of which varies from site to site, depending on the nature of the burial environment. The higher porosity of the dentine structure allows for a more open pathway for fluids within the burial environment to permeate more efficiently. Subsequently, dentine is often considered to be more susceptible to diagenesis than enamel. However, enamel from one fossil site has undergone significant diagenetic alteration. Because of the variable and unpredictable effects of diagenesis, the chemical composition of fossil teeth is not a reliable indicator of the lifetime (i.e.in vivo) composition. Thus, interpretation of the lifestyle or environment of individuals that is based on compositional parameters, such as palaeodiet, needs to take into account the degree and extent of diagenetic alteration associated with individual fossil sites. Additional factors that can affect post-mortem alteration of teeth, are the mechanical and chemical modifications that result from predation and digestion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
