“…Fibre temper was sometimes associated with calcium phosphate (apatite) and iron phosphate (vivianite) grains (TG C), which may have resulted from phosphatic mineralisation of plant fibres (Green 1979) in the temper, or the addition of crushed bone or fossil material (Kuczumow et al 2010;Piga et al 2009) to the clay fabric. Reef debris can consist of skeletal material (bioclasts) which can be found in beach sands as rounded or subrounded particles.…”

“…Schleswig in Germany or Svendborg in Denmark [18]. The likely explanation is that the Al originates from adhered soil [50,[56][57][58] and that Fe is deposited on the bones by the passing groundwater and precipitated by changes in pH [50,[58][59][60]. It is therefore likely that Al and Fe represent two different diagenetic processes.…”

“…At some hydrological locations the groundwater carries large amounts of Fe and Mn [16][17][18], and the lay cemetery of Svendborg Franciscan Friary is such a place. The landscape rises steeply to the west of the friary, and the hillside running north-south here carries and releases a lot of groundwater.…”
