forensic science My laboratory analyzes bone samples that have been submerged in lakes and rivers. The aim of our research is to create a database that helps investigators determine how long the decomposing bone samples have been in the water (PMI). When bones are removed from the water, the exterior description is recorded (color, hardness, density). Then a core sample is taken to identify the chemical composition and microbiome of the sample. How would you rank the following characteristics in terms of usefulness in the database? Explain your order. Bone color Bone hardness Bone density Chemical composition of the bone sample Microbiome of the bone sample.
