...Ina REICHE; Guillaume MORIN; Christian BROUDER; Vicente Armando SOLÉ; Pierre-Emmanuel PETIT; Colette VIGNAUD; Thomas CALLIGARO; Michel MENU Abstract Odontolite or bone turquoise, a turquoise-blue coloured heated fossilised mastodon ivory or bone, is an imitation of the mineral turquoise used...

... at a paleontological locality or very early archaeological site. The first unambiguous evidence for the origin of blue color of ancient bone material was based on research on fossil ivory ( Reiche et al. 2000 , 2001 , 2002a ) in the case of “Odontolite.” Odontolite is a turquoise imitation made of fossil ivory...

... monks are believed to have created odontolite, a turquoise-blue “gemstone,” by heating mastodon ivory found in Miocene geological layers next to the Pyrrenean chain, France, to use it for the decoration of medieval art objects. This material has been the object of investigations of famous European...

Chemical analyses of major and minor elements were obtained by EMPA, whereas trace elements were determined on selected samples by LA-ICP-MS...

.... Reactions at phosphate mineral surfaces play a major role in making fertilizers work ( Becker 1989 ). As part of our bones, phosphate minerals keep us upright ( Mann et al. 1989 ; Driessens and Verbeeck 1990 ) and, as the main component of our teeth, they enable us to chew our food ( LeGeros 1991...

Three-dimensional modeling and measurement of segmented long bones permits comparison between these individuals and with previously recovered specimens. CT scans of long bones...

Her tomb, which has an area of only 20 m 2 , has yielded 1.6 tonnes of bronze (195 ritual vessels and 271 bronze weapons), 755 jades, 110 objects of marble, turquoise and other stones, 564 objects of carved bone, 15 pieces of cowries, 3 ivory cups...

... , Pumpelly observed that the strata of the north kurgan was especially marked by thin layers of ash, charcoal, and burnt earth with visible animal bones and potsherds, indicating the kurgans were remnants of settlements. Excavation revealed house walls and outlines of mud bricks. A continuous layer...

Much space was occupied by books and manuscripts. A private collection, contained in a locked drawers, was set aside...

... the Leonard series. The Leonard series is represented by the Bone Spring limestone. This consists of black, thin-bedded limestone and some shale in the basin, but changes into gray limestone in the marginal and shelf areas. The lower part of the gray limestones along the margin includes reef masses. The upper...
