Bone Sample OneA thin slice of Starchild Skull bone under magnification, showing the fibers. | "Knot" fibersA cluster of fibers dubbed the "knot" - visible on the Bone Sample One image, near the top just to the right of the image. | "Thread" FibersTwo fibers dubbed "threads" - visible on the Bone Sample One image, near the top at the far right. |
---|---|---|
Bone Sample TwoA thin slice of Starchild Skull bone under magnification, showing a rough and smooth cut surface caused by the mechanical bone saw changing speed. Fibers are also visible. | Claw shaped Bone and FibersA "claw" shaped piece of bone, visible about one third down the line between rough and smooth bone in the Bone Sample Two image. Fibers covered in bone dust are visible. | Fibers Above "Claw" BoneA higher magnification of the top middle section of the "claw" image. |
Higher MagnificationThis image is a higher magnification of the top right area of the last image. The fibers are clearly visible emerging from the bone. | Even Higher MagnificationThis image is an even higher magnification of the top right area of the last image, at only only 50 um (microns per millimeter) | Fiber On Bone SurfaceA lose fiber on the surface of the smooth cut bone. |
Magnified Lose FiberA higher magnification of the previous image, showing the torn edge of the fiber. |
