Abstract:		 Reports tests to see whether tooth enamel might be altered during burial by focusing on the carbonate content and electron spin resonance (ESR) signals used for dating. Manometry and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy were used to study carbonate in eleven fossil and five modern tooth enamels from horse, cow, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, and mammoth. It is shown that ungulate tooth enamel exhibits a narrow range of both carbonate content and ESR signal intensity. These characteristics are true both for modern and most fossil samples ranging in age up to several hundred years old. Evidence for possible diagenesis was found only for two samples, consisting of fragments of enamel which exhibited anomalous high and low carbonate contents (and ESR signal sizes).
