Abstract
The evidence that the Vinland Map is a modern forgery is not supported by the bi-pyramidal shape of the anatase crystals shown in the transmission electron micrograph of the ink of the Map. The proposed presence of a modern pigment was related to the identification of the anatase shown in the micrograph as having a rounded regular crystalline shape as contrasted to the bi-pyramidal shape that this paper has identified.
