In many examples, this skeletal material is preserved as fossils.
"They recognize that skeletal material is the best comparative evidence we have for the human condition over such a long period of time, but it is not perfect".
Of the 59 Jebel Sahaba victims, skeletal material from two has been included in the new Early Egypt gallery.
Coral is the skeletal material of calcium carbonate built up by small animals that live in colonies in the sea.
Biogenic ooze, also called biogenic sediment, any pelagic sediment that contains more than 30 percent skeletal material.
The skeletal material in carbonate oozes is calcium carbonate usually in the form of the mineral calcite but sometimes aragonite.
Skeletal material revealed Botai horses to be slenderer and more similar to Bronze Age domestic horses than to wild horses from the older sites, providing evidence of domestication.
Some of the skeletal material has just gone on permanent display as part of the British Museum's new Early Egypt gallery which opens officially today.
The distribution of biogenic oozes depends mainly on the supply of skeletal material, dissolution of the skeletons, and dilution by other sediment types, such as turbidites or clays.
Some teeth and footprints and some fragmentary skeletal material of ornithischians are known from Late Triassic sediments, but it is only in the Early Jurassic that they become well known.
For scientific work carried out on the skeletal material at a laboratory in Florence, suggests that most of the dead individuals were from just two generations of a single extended family.
