Shallow Central 156 (107, 204)C 105 (86, 124)ABC
Shallow Peripheral 156 (95, 216)BC 90 (76, 104)A
Deep Central 101 (46, 157)AB 97 (87, 107)AB
Deep Peripheral 129 (78, 181)AC 103 (93, 114)AB

*Margins sharing a letter show values are not significantly different at a type one error rate of 0.05 while controlling for the field of view.

Model: P-value (Location) = 0.046; P-value (Age) = 0.05; P-value (Location*Age) = 0.13; Model R-square = 0.30. High intensity = less mineralisation. Low intensity values = greater mineralisation.
