Summary
Dental parapulpar pins (TMS® Link Series) are reliable markers in cineradiography for the recording of movements in small vertebrates. The application of the pins to an analysis of mandibular movements of soricids allows a reconstruction of the complex movement pattern of both jaws during mastication.
