| Abstract: |
Concludes that for histologically well preserved material, acetic acid is effective at returning carbonate content to around that of modern bone. Where bone is extensively damaged by micro-organisms, `loose' diagenetic material can be removed, but a fraction largely composed of hypermineralized bioapatite remains, which, it is thought, cannot be reliably used to obtain accurate biological signals. |
