| 1997 | Elemental composition of a tusk of a dugong, Dugong dugon, from Exmouth, Western Australia. Mar. Biol. 129(2): 203-214. 5 tabs. 5 figs. –X-ray fluorescence-imaging and analysis of acid-digested material from a tusk of a 55-year-old pregnant female dugong provided a record of fluctuations in barium, calcium, iron, lithium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, strontium, and zinc. These fluctuations are attributed to natural environmental changes and/or changes in the dugong's physiology with increasing age; elements usually regarded as pollutants or as affected by anthropogenic changes were not detected. | ||
