From: Pursuing pademelon provenance: a pilot study using portable XRF to trace field-collection of museum mammal specimens

Fig. 2

A Comparison of co-added XRF spectra (log scaled) collected from twelve pademelons (Thylogale) showed that skins collected by each of: Broadbent, Grant, and Grant with Cairn formed distinct elemental patterns with copper, zinc, mercury, arsenic and lead immediately recognised as significant bulk elements. B Bar graph of significant bulk elements, derived from Compton normalised accumulated XRF spectra, showing that each field collector repeatedly used similar mixture on numerous specimens.
