Example Sentences
- "Macroscopic study of post-depositional breaks showed fiber bone deposition in some trabecular bone elements and in the medullary cavities of some long-bones. […] to help evaluate this diagnostic hypothesis, the skeletal remains were fully radiographed in order to provide an overall picture of the distribution of endosteal alterations. In another case from Wharram Percy […] metastatic cancer was considered as a differential diagnosis. It was noted that the presence of endosteal fiber bone would have argued in favor of that option, but this change was absent on macroscopic inspection at the numerous post-depositional breaks in the remains."
