was primarily travertine aragonite deposited from springs, rather than the more common calcite. Calcite and aragonite differ in their crystalline structure - calcite being rhombohedral and aragonite

A79) Earthy material (limestone composed of aragonite with strontium and iron) was found on the feet of TS Man (Kohlbeck 1986, Nitowski 1986, 1998, Antonacci 2000). Earthy material was also found in

contengono aragonite con stronzio e ferro. Tale materiale è infrequente, ma molto simile a campioni prelevati nelle grotte di Gerusalemme[32]. [a=.49, f=.01, n=.5, ia=.1, if=.005, in =.1, p=1] 11)

aragonite with strontium and iron. Such material is infrequent, but very similar to samples taken in the Jerusalem caves[32]. [a=.49, f=.01, n=.5, ia=.1, if=.005, in =.1, p=1] 11) The MTS fell to the

aragonite in these sites. It could be interesting to confirm its presence, and at the same time to verify the possible presence of aragonite also in other sites of the Shroud. g) To study the various

aragonite) agree with an origin in the Middle East. In our opinion, a new radiocarbon dating on a representative sample of the original cloth should take place to solve the “Shroud question”

Spectrographic chemical analysis of travertine aragonite calcium, found on the Shroud’s fabric, strongly suggests that it was once in direct physical contact with one of Jerusalem’s limestone caves

on the micro-marks (pollen, blood, aloe, myrrh, aragonite), on forensic investigation, on the prints of the coins left on the cloth on the iconographic analysis. A particular section is dedicated to

Now, this is traver)ne aragonite, a very interes)ng limestone, interes)ng because this limestone is not known anywhere in the world except the old city burial site in Jerusalem. Guess what’s found

3. Pollens and materials such as travertine aragonite should be located in separate databases to distinguish the geographic identity of the cloth and show its historic background and provenance. 4.
