Staining ancient collagens from fossils?

 


Honestly really surprised this worked, but the controls are seem to make sense. They take some current bones and de-mineralize them as their method development samples and/or controls. Turns out they can still stain some things (mostly collagens) from the insides of materials like rib cross sections and maybe inside of other dense materials like teeth? 

A study that is clearly way outside of my content knowledge, but encouraging that enough protein is around to do things with!
