Summary 1 Trace evidence includes Animal (hair), Vegetable (fiber), or Mineral (glass, explosives, gunshot residue) – It is fragile, easily missed and/or lost. Hairs extend from its root in the follicle into a shaft and terminates at a tip end- Three layers of the hair, the cuticle, cortex and medulla are subjected to the most intense forensic examination - Color, length and diameter Morphological features distinguish human vs animals Scale structure, medullary index and medullary shape are important Medullary shape and the distribution, shape and color intensity of the pigment granules present in the cortex are important forensic features. Nuclear and mtDNA can be analyzed from hair roots and mtDNA from hair shaft

Summary 2 The quality of fiber evidence is dependent on the ability of the criminalist to identify the origin or narrow down the number of sources Microscopic comparisons of known and questioned fibers at undertaken for color and diameter. Striations on the fiber, delustering particles and cross-sectional shape are examined. Visible light micro-spectrophotometer and FT-IR IR spec is rapid and reliable for identifying the generic class of fibers. Paint consists of pigments and additives suspended in the binder. Auto paint is compared under a stereoscopic microscope for color surface texture and color layer. Pyrolysis GC and IR spec can be used to distinguish most paint binder formulations
