Figure 1: Average concentrations of the elements (a) 25Mg, (b) 29Si, (c) 47Ti and (d) 56Fe in naïve bovine bone fragments using ICP-MS analysis. All of these elements had dispersed scatter dots between 7 independent replicates; standard deviations were significant when comparing mean values and separate scatters. Note: #1-7 in x-axis were 7 replicates; #8 was the mean value of #1-7 with SD values. |
