Taxonomic review of fossil Proboscidea (Mammalia) from Langebaanweg, South Africa
Comparative morphological and metric study of proboscidean dental fossils from the Quartzose (QSM) and Pelletal Phosphate (PPM) Members of the Varswater Formation at Langebaanweg, South Africa, identifies the presence in the fauna of an anancine gomphothere and two species of elephant. The gomphothere, from the QSM and PPM, displays a unique combination of primitive and derived molar features, ...
متن کاملMechanical properties of collagen fibrils.
The formation of collagen fibers from staggered subfibrils still lacks a universally accepted model. Determining the mechanical properties of single collagen fibrils (diameter 50-200 nm) provides new insights into collagen structure. In this work, the reduced modulus of collagen was measured by nanoindentation using atomic force microscopy. For individual type 1 collagen fibrils from rat tail, ...
متن کاملNature designs tough collagen: explaining the nanostructure of collagen fibrils.
Collagen is a protein material with superior mechanical properties. It consists of collagen fibrils composed of a staggered array of ultra-long tropocollagen (TC) molecules. Theoretical and molecular modeling suggests that this natural design of collagen fibrils maximizes the strength and provides large energy dissipation during deformation, thus creating a tough and robust material. We find th...
متن کاملThe Formation of Fibrils from Collagen Solutions
The kinetics of collagen reprecipitation from solutions of salt-extracted calf dermis in the presence of small amounts of mucopolysaccharide and nucleic acids (0.005 per cent in the final reaction mixture) has been reported by Wood (1960). The present paper is a parallel study using the same materials, and describes the electron microscopic (EM) morphology of the collagen precipitates replicate...
متن کاملThe Occurrence of Crystals within Collagen Fibrils
Earl ier electron microscope studies have provided circumstant ial evidence for the existence of crystals within the collagen fibrils 1 of bone matr ix. In fully calcified bone matr ix there are no areas which are not replete with crystals; a finding which indicates tha t there should be a deposition of crystals not only a t the per iphery of fibrils but within them as well (12). The posit ion ...
