Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
1.Idea : I aim to develop a selective bio-engineered (maybe?) microbial or enzymatic substance capable of removing fossil-bearing matrix materials such as carbonates, clays, and iron oxides without damaging fossilized biological tissues including enamel, dentine, bone, and ganoine. 2.1 - Biosafety - Prevention of Damage to Fossil Material Because fossils are finite and often irreplaceable scientific objects, it is essential to minimize the risk of unintended chemical or structural alteration. The technology should be validated on modern analogues, synthetic replicas, or non-diagnostic material before being applied to rare or type specimens.
