Jianianhualong fossil studied with M6 JETSTREAMXRFÂ X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy equipment to reveal soft-tissue features (in Chinese)

In rough translation:

"According to reports, after completing the fluorescence spectrum with M6 JETSTREAMXRF and obtaining the overall element distribution map of the fossil, the scientists will use micro-drilling technology, micro-cutting technology, and micro-damage sampling of several important parts. The sample will be sent to the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Synchrotron Radiation Center of Canada for in-depth microscopy and microspectroscopy analysis. The bones and feather structures and composition of eight important dinosaurs and early bird fossils, including Jianianhualong tengi, and the structure and composition of the surrounding rock where the fossils were found, are being studied in-depth."
