2025/04/15
An international team of scientists, involving TU Darmstadt Marco Colombo and Prof. Wolfgang Ensinger, has applied for the first-time mobile macroscopic scanning X-ray fluorescence analysis (mobile-MA-XRF) with sophisticated data analysis to examine paleontological objects. These are fossils from the Messel Pit, Germany's first UNESCO World Heritage Site near Frankfurt, Germany. The pioneering study opens up a new avenue for studying in detail the elemental chemistry of fossils conserved in both solid and liquid media in research and museum collections worldwide.
