Other differences areprobably due to errors in the constants used in the age estimation errors are almost certainly too small to affect overall profile shape, butcould well affect the precise content of particular age classes. Neither chance nor the constants used in the formulae, however, canexplain the fact that all the profiles except the ones for Sivatherium hendeyi andGiraffa sp. (and palaeotragine) contain many fewer very young individuals (inthe first 10 % of lifespan) than would be expected in either a catastrophic or anattritional age profile.
