Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
An outline of the history and present state of the art. Technical refinements in microscopy, together with the introduction of new apparatus, permit important advances in the study of the process of bone fossilisation, with possiblities of ultimately obtaining chronological data. Fossilisation involves the gradual disappearance of the bone's organic structures, their replacement by material carried in the ground-water, and substitution of the chemical elements in the inorganic component. These changes can be detected by histological staining and by measurement of uranium radioactivity. The rate of change depends on the environment of burial as well as on the passage of time, and therefore much work with electron microscope, polarising microscope and histochemical methods lies ahead before assessments of absolute date can be attempted. | |||||
