Extended Data Fig. 9

Produced from Gigantopithecus blacki. Fossil teeth from various cave sites. a, i-ii: Chuifeng 1; iii-iv Chuifeng 2; v-vi Queque 44; vii-viii: Queque 5; xi-xii: Shuangtan 50; xiii-xiv: Shuangtan 109; xiv-xvi: Hejiang 1573.8. b, Uranium as a marker of diagenesis. Queque 44 shows the expected distribution of uranium, mirroring the barium and strontium. c, Data extraction location of each sample, taken along the enamel, parallel to the enamel-dentine junction.
