Figure 3

The sample retrieval sites on the neurocranium and the three-point bending setup are depicted. The black squares exemplify the sample retrieval sites for all neurocranial regions except for the occipital one. A three-layered neurocranial sample of the composite group is shown as a fusion of a bare unprocessed sample and a micro-computed tomography image of the same to illustrate the sandwich-like structure more detailed.
