Initial concerns were raised over the presence of erroneous values in Tables 1 and 2. Subsequent investigation uncovered inconsistencies in the Authors’ description of EDX provenance and dating of FTIR images. Additionally, the authorship of this paper could not be verified. Pallab K. Sarker has stated that he had played no role in the creation of this article. The Editors have therefore lost confidence in the integrity of the findings.
