'Little Foot' skull x-rayed in Didcot Diamond lab


A PRICELESS fossil of the 3.67-million -year-old ‘Little Foot’ skull was flown from South Africa to a lab near Didcot.
With the help of an X-ray, scientists at the British research facility Diamond Light Source, were able to see some microscopic details in the ancient remains that could help unravel key clues to the origins of modern humans.
The X-ray work from June 2019 is highlighted in a new paper in e-life published this week which reveals new information about evolution and human origins.
The scientists were able to observe and describe the vascular canals that are enclosed in the compact bone of the lower jaw. ....

2021-03 - New technology allows scientists first glimpse of intricate details of Little Foot's life


2 March 2021 - Wits University
High resolution X-ray imaging of Little Foot s skull and dentition shows Little Foot suffered periods of dietary stress and illness when she was a child.
In June 2019, an international team, including researchers from Wits University, took the complete skull of the 3.67-million-year-old ‘Little Foot’
Australopithecus skeleton, from South Africa to the UK and achieved unprecedented imaging resolution of its bony structures and dentition in an X-ray synchrotron-based investigation at the UK’s national synchrotron, Diamond Light Source.
The X-ray work is highlighted in a new paper in e-Life, published today (2nd March 2021) focusing on the inner craniodental features of ‘Little Foot’. The remarkable completeness and great age of the ‘Little Foot’ skeleton makes it a crucially important specimen in human origins research and a prime candidate for exploring human evolution through high-resolution virtua ....
