Abstract:
This dataset includes raw X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy data of tooth enamel and enameloid. Processed energy dispersive spectroscopy data is included as an excel file. Also included is an excel sheet with sample numbers and sampling information of teeth from the Smithsonian Institute National Museum of Natural History used in this dataset.
