Calcium (Ca) 47.61 65.20 26.39 4.48 39.65 36.42

Pd (palladium) and Au (gold) were used to count the specimens. Ga (gallium) was used for the cross cut of the hooks; other elements (C, O, N) are common in organic matter.

See Figure 39 for EDXA spectrum of bolded WT% of tip of anterior hook of N. ponticus from the Black Sea. Inset: anterior hooks. Note that sulfur is much higher (36.42%) at the base of the posterior hook, calcium is highest (65.20%) at the entry of the anterior hook, and phosphorous is slightly higher (18.18%) at the base of the anterior hook.
