Cutting crime: the analysis of the “uniqueness” of saw marks on bone
TL;DR: A new approach to the analysis of witness marks left on kerf walls and floors from crimes involving dismemberment is described, including a new, third type of striation that is visible at higher magnifications on ESEM images.
