Fig 9. Direct correspondence of 2D and 3D developmental information.

Matching of the incremental pattern between the standardized developmental slice of the ULC of STS2 and the 3D models of its EDJ and OES. Retzius lines or accentuated lines in the enamel on the 2D virtual slice allows the matching of a stress on the EDJ and OES. The number of long-period lines is indicated in square brackets between the major stress events highlighted on the 2D and 3D models, providing a quantitative overview of the time elapsed between stress. The long-period line count was performed on a high resolution image of the 2D slice to ensure a high definition of the growth lines. Further developmental information for this individual may be found in [61]. File name: Figure_9.tif.
