| Abstract: | Fourier analysis was used in this study to help a specific determination of some Mimomys (Arvicolidae, Rodentia, Mammalia)
species. Several Pliocene and Pleistocene Central and Western European Mimomys species first lower molar contours have been
decomposed by Complex Discrete Fourier Transform. Inter- and intra-specific comparisons have been performed on the harmonics
obtained from the decomposition and some problematic specimens have been classified. |
