They suspect it may be the residue from the decay of once-living tissue cells, not just bone a finding stirring skepticism among other paleontologists.
Even then, it was clear the gradual decay of neglect had eaten its way through more than just the fabric of the building.
These primordial meteorites contain compounds that can only have formed from the decay of radioactive isotopes produced when a star explodes in a supernova.
The positrons, produced by the decay of radioactive sodium, are cooled into a similarly sized cloud of around 1m particles and held in a neighbouring trap.

Other experiments, notably at the Fermi National Accelerator facility in the US, have not definitively found a notable difference between the two kinds of decay of D-mesons.
Indeed, the decay of Congo's Belgian-built roads, which in 1960 ran to over 100, 000km, must rank as one of the greatest boons to forests since the Black Death.
There has been a profound loss of cultural creativity, apparent, for example, in the decay of the Islamic city and its time-honoured traditions of craftsmanship, piety and community.
The Higgs boson decays too fast to detect directly, but decays into particles similar to those left behind by the decay of a top quark anti-top quark pair.
Thermoelectric coupling uses heat from the decay of a radioactive fuel (as opposed to the full-scale nuclear fission which powers a reactor on Earth) as its energy source.
ECONOMIST: A more efficient way to make electricity in spacecraft
The veil of secrecy that was cast over Bletchley led not just to the decay of the site but also meant an opportunity was lost for Britain's computer industry, Meacham believes.
With the weakened foundations of Social Security and the decay of the corporate pension plan, we as employers need to step up and promote better investing and retirement planning for our workers.
Unlike archaeological radiocarbon dating based on the fixed rate of decay of the carbon-14 isotope, there is simply no fixed rate of decay of basic vocabulary, which would allow us to date ancestral proto-languages.
For the last 10 years, researchers led by William Hirst of the New School and Elizabeth Phelps of New York University have been tracking the steady decay of what people recall about that tragic event.
WSJ: Jonah Lehrer on Memory, Witnesses and Crime | Head Case
And this whole topic completely ignores the other, even rarer form of Heliem, the Isotope Helium3, which is formed only as a biproduct of the radioactive decay of the Tritium used in making nuclear missiles.
Our best understanding of physics so far, called the Standard Model, suggests that the complicated cascades of decay of D-mesons into other particles should be very nearly the same - within less than 0.1% - as a similar chain of antimatter decays.
What if actual result of decay would not follow the sequence of 50% remaining rule in which it would take a shorter period to become inactive in decay instead of that 5730 years, using 5730 years as a base to presume that the decay would last in every half year would simply falsify the age that would be computed through radioactive dating method.
In a medium where the notion of community rarely gets explored beyond a hug and a neat wrapup, and in a season when the safe, tame comedy of Jay Leno has wiped five hours of drama clean off the board, the producers of FNL have dug after something deeper: The idea of decay, of things breaking apart and falling away.
Checking data collected at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island and the Federal Physical and Technical Institute in Germany, they came across something even more surprising: long-term observation of the decay rate of silicon-32 and radium-226 seemed to show a small seasonal variation.
FORBES: Radioactive Decay Rates May Not Be Constant After All
Marco Simoni, political economist at the European Institute of the LSE, believes a "slow decay" of member state economies is the biggest risk to the EU and countries should not assume they are immune from financial collapse as soon as they sign up.
Another is for a wiser attitude to the process of decay and the fact of death.
He said the paintings had a variety of themes - social decay, issues of emasculation, lack of identity, changing landscapes.
If the cooling system were to lose power during the initial decay period of 24 to 48 hours, a meltdown would likely follow.

After poring over the data, engineers and physicists noted a recurring pattern 33 days long that affected the decay rates of the various radioactive substances.
FORBES: Radioactive Decay Rates May Not Be Constant After All
Satellite and space expert Dr Stuart Eves stressed the large uncertainties involved in tracking the "decay" of satellite orbits (their slow fall back into the Earth's atmosphere).
Rather than simply dismissing this phenomenally popular genre as a symptom of civic decay or a cause of electoral apathy, we ought to be asking: what are we laughing at, and why?
Since the predicted decay patterns of the two mesons were a result of the ways that matter and antimatter blended in them, that suggested that those substances are not quite equal and opposite after all.
