It was shown by X-ray diffraction measurements that pigeon cortical bone apatite is more crystalline than medullary bone apatite. In addition, the bone mineral turnover connected with egg formation apparently utilizes the smaller or less crystalline medullary bone apatite crystals first, leaving behind the larger crystals. This corroborates past work that has shown less crystalline bone apatite to be more metabolically active.
