Abstract

In this article we re-examine the presence of loam on the Shroud considering it as a new image. It is constituted, mainly, from calcium carbonate crystallized in rhombic form (aragonite), and it is formed by a cloth-body contact mechanism. This result supports the Middle Eastern origin of the Turin Linen and strengthens the hypothesis that itself wrapped a wounded human body.
