Fig. 6. Failure strain and yield strength of mineralized M. californicus
vertebrae. (A) Failure strain (%) did not vary with strain rate
(P=0.20). (B) Yield strength (MPa) in mineralized vertebrae varied
significantly among the strain rates tested here
(F3,94=4.729; P<0.01). Yield strength of
vertebrae tested at strain rates of 1% s–1 was significantly
lower than vertebrae tested at higher strain rates (10% s–1
and 20% s–1).
