TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Gunshot wound with asphalt related pseudo-soot, pseudo-tattooing, and pseudo-scorching JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Zaki, S. A. A1 - Hanzlick, R. SP - 1136 EP - 1140 VL - 32 IS - 4 N2 - Artifacts which mimic the tattooing and soot deposition of close range gunshot wounds have been described as "pseudo-soot" and "pseudo-tattooing." The origin of such findings includes glass, intermediate targets, insect bites, medical manipulation, graphite, and sutures. The authors present a case of pseudo-soot and pseudo-tattooing as a result of asphalt pavement, and describe the associated entity of pseudo-scorching.
