The odontological collection at the Royal College of Surgeons of England: a short review

This short article will present an overview of the contents of the Odontological Collection based at The Royal College of Surgeons of England, London. This dentally relevant research source has been accrued over the past two centuries and contains both human and animal cranial material that place a focus on the development of the teeth and jaws. Currently used by a range of researchers in a variety of fields, it is hoped that this brief review will encourage those with a palaeodontological interest to consider the Odontological Collection in data collection or for more general dental investigation.
