Extended Data Fig. 1: Regular, ultraviolet light and SRS-XRF images of MH 432.
From: Soft-tissue evidence for homeothermy and crypsis in a Jurassic ichthyosaur

a, Skin compressed onto the diagenetically flattened gastralia basket. b, Amorphous adipocere (arrows) external to the gastralia and liver residue (arrowheads) within the abdominal cavity. c, Fibrous muscle or connective tissue on the left side of the trunk. d–m, Some of the anatomical features, and the stone putty used to reassemble the individual blocks, are enhanced under ultraviolet light. Note the differences in fluorescence between the putty (arrowheads in f), internal structures (arrowheads in g) and integument (arrowheads in i). n, SRS-XRF false-colour images showing the spatial distribution of silicon (magenta), phosphorous (green) and copper (blue). o, SRS-XRF false-colour images showing the spatial distribution of iron (red), sulfur (yellow) and zinc (blue). The lack of co-localization between copper, zinc and the preserved soft tissues might result from calcium phosphate overprinting.
