DOI: 10.1111/1556-4029.13438
Abstract: This article is the third in a series of reports exploring quantifiable visual parameters of the aging process of latent fingermarks. On this occasion, research is focused on the occurrence of ridge discontinuities (i.e. breakages)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1556-4029.13891
Abstract: In most latent fingermark aging studies, two‐dimensional (2D) features are obtained from photo images, scans, or inked impressions. However, some relevant information is possibly being missed because fingermarks are three‐dimensional (3D) objects that age in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1556-4029.15095
Abstract: Latent fingermark age determination is a relatively new subdiscipline of friction ridge pattern analysis that has the potential to ascertain two key pieces of information: the “who” and the “when” from a single evidence item.… read more here.
