β-Tricalcium Phosphate Interferes with the Assessment of Crystallinity in Burned Skeletal Remains

Figure 2

CC/NI/17_right fibula represents one of the rare bone specimens showing a partial transformation to β-TCP. According to Rietveld analysis, the amount of bioapatite is 68 wt% and 32 wt% belongs to β-tricalcium phosphate. The residuals are reported on the top of the graph for ease of presentation.
