Revealing the chemical composition of whole organic fossils in 3D!
An international team led by IPANEMA, and composed of three other CNRS laboratories (ISYEB, IMPMC and LRCP), the University of Lausanne and three synchrotron facilities (SOLEIL and ESRF in France, SLAC at Stanford in the United States) has just shown that it is possible to establish the composition at each point of an organic fossil based on the totally innovative use of a method resulting from fundamental research in X-ray spectroscopy.
