[HTML][HTML] 3D maps of mineral composition and hydroxyapatite orientation in fossil bone samples obtained by X-ray diffraction computed tomography
Whether hydroxyapatite (HA) orientation in fossilised bone samples can be non-
destructively retrieved and used to determine the arrangement of the bone matrix and the
location of muscle attachments (entheses), is a question of high relevance to palaeontology,
as it facilitates a detailed understanding of the (micro-) anatomy of extinct species with no
damage to the precious fossil specimens. Here, we report studies of two fossil bone
samples, specifically the tibia of a 300-million-year-old tetrapod, Discosauriscus austriacus …
