A more recent study states: |
Oxygen Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Calcium Phosphorus |
61.4286% 22.8571% 10.00% 2.5714 1.4289% 1.1143% |
These numbers were mainly those rounded off including more decimal digits. However, by replacing the decimals with the first, it would add the total to be more than 100%. In the second chart, after phosphorus, the elements become less specific. |
