Abstract
⺠Estimating animals' ages to create mortality profiles is typical in faunal analysis. ⺠The Quadratic Crown Height Method (QCHM) provides formulae for estimating age. ⺠We used a sample of known-age elk to refine the QCHM equations. ⺠We model the shape of the relationship between age and dental wear (crown height). ⺠We estimate for each tooth when the crown height should reach zero.
