Investigation of the osteitis deformans phases in snake vertebrae

Double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) was optimized for microspatial analyses of fossil and recent snake vertebrae. As complimentary techniques was utilized in order to determine the overall concentration of the selected elements in the samples and to visualize nondestructively the fossil sample microstructure, respectively.

Double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) was optimized for microspatial analyses of fossil and recent snake vertebrae. As complimentary techni-
ques, solution analysis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and synchrotron radiation X-ray microtomography  was  utilized  in  order  to  determine  the  overall concentration of the selected elements in the samples and to visualize nondestructively the fossil sample microstructure, respectively. Elemental mapping of pathological bony tissue by  DP-LIBS  has  been  proven  as  a  powerful  tool  for considering the osteitis deformans phases in fossil vertebrae.
