Synchrotron small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) was conducted on native intramuscular shad/herring bone samples. Two‐dimensional SAXS patterns were quantitatively analyzed with special consideration for preferred orientation effects, leading to new insights into the three‐dimensional superstructure of mineralized collagen fibrils in shad/herring bone.
