Hi all,
As a newbie in the field, I have a question: What sort of 'vascular' structures/martix can you expect in fossilized bonelike structures?
I've attached some pictures of something I ran into: its still unclear if this is bone or not, but in general the question seems interesting.
Location: Doesburg, The netherlands, rock deposition: early pleistocene most probably. the black lines are not elevated or depressed, are not jagged, and seem to be branching
Did some searching online, fund this article on pubmed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1685849/,
but how feasible is this in general? Or is most of 'vascular structure' caused by plant infiltrated root structure?
thank you,
Regards Joep
