No traces of mineralization have been detected--as it is common in fossil ivory--(Edwards et al., 2006: 66), and traces of fungal activity and biodeterioration, although visually detected, did not significantly affect the spectra obtained.

The causes of building material biodeterioration are three main processes: mechanical, assimilative (building materials are a source of nutrition and energy for microorganisms), and dissimilative (the interaction of building materials with aggressive metabolites of microorganisms) [1].
