Oct 4, 2017 at 18:08 comment added Ash @A.C.A.C. I did actually think about that and since he said "powder" I assumed single mineral grains that would pack down without significant air gaps thus I would expect that the density of this powder would very closely resemble the mineral density of the material. If in fact the bone was less thoroughly crushed you would need less of it but the footprint would be less legible in direct proportion too.
Oct 4, 2017 at 18:02 comment added A. C. A. C. How dense is bone dust in comparison to actual bone? I would assume the dust to be less dense by a significant factor. binmaster.com/_resources/dyn/files/75343622z9caf67af/_fn/… this links ground bone as 0.8 g/cm^3 and dry ground bone as 1.2g/cm^3. I have no idea what bones these are and if the ground bones are actually in dust form.
