Upper image
A higher magnification of the tansition between the Zone of calcified cartilage and the Zone of ossification. The red line indicates the approximate boundary between the zones.
Above the line observe dead chondrocytes surrounded by thin walls of calcified matrix.
The area below the red line is occupied bone that has been deposited over the calcified walls of matrix cartilage.
