Yes. ln 1969 the Archbishop of Turin appointed a commission to examine the shroud. The commission included internationally known forensic serologists who unsuccessively used microscopic, chemical, biological and instrumental tests to validate the blood. Experts discovered reddish granules that would not even dissolve in reagents that dissolve blood, and one investigator found traces of what appeared to be paint. An art expert concluded that the image had been produced by an artistic printing technique.
Further examinations were conducted in 1978 by the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP), a group whose leaders were on the Executive Council of the Holy Shroud guild, a Catholic organisation that advocated the cause of the supposed relic.
STURP pathologist Robert Bucklin claimed the images were anatomically correct, yet a footprint on the cloth is inconsistent with the position of the leg, the hair falls as for a person standing rather lying down, and the physique is unnaturally elongated (similar to figures in Gothic art).
Microanalyst Walter C. McCrone examined tape-lifted samples from the shroud and identified the supposed blood as tempera paint containing red ochre and vermilion along with traces of rose madder. Supporters of the Shroud as authentic claim that the presence of these pigments results from medieval repairs to the ancient cloth.
In 1988, three laboratories (at Oxford, Zurich, and the University of Arizona) used accelerator mass spectrometry to carbon-date samples of the linen. The results all stated that the linen was produced around 1250-1390 CE.

What nationality are the scientists who described the Turin Shroud as supernatural?
The scientists who have been doing studies and tests on the Shroud of Turin are Italian.
What has the Turin Shroud got to do with Jesus?
In reality not very much. The Catholic Church believes the shroud is the burial garment of Christ. This has never been proven, although the shroud has been tested several times. All the tests were inconclusive. Our faith in Christ is not based on this shroud, but on the Word of God.Improved Answer:The Catholic Church has never made an official pronouncement about the Shroud of Turin being either genuine or fake. Each individual may come to a personal conclusion. As far as the Church is concerned, it is a pious piece of art, much like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
Is the shroud of Jesus real or no and why?
The shroud of Jesus is not that old aas history says , tests done on it fins that the material is much younger.
Is the Shroud of Turin a miracle or are Scientists wrong?
Another answer from our community:Modern science has been proved to be wrong many times, but in this case they weren't. The phenomenon of the Shroud of Turin being made in medival times is false, because the body of Jesus didn't decay in the Shroud, thus not expelling the nutrients that scientists studied to detect the Shroud's age. The body of Jesus was found roughly three days after it being placed in the tomb to be gone. Scientists used the wrong method in finding the Shroud's age, so the ansewer is that scientists were wrong about the Shroud's age.
What are scientists tests called?
Experiments.
When scientists do repeated tests to discover or demonstrate something they are conducting an?

Should scientists test the Shroud of Turin?
A:Scientists have indeed tested the Shroud of Turin. ln 1969 the Archbishop of Turin appointed a secret commission to examine the shroud. That fact was leaked, then denied. The commission included internationally known forensic serologists who made heroic efforts to validate the 'blood', but all of the microscopic, chemical, biological and instrumental tests were negative. Experts discovered reddish granules that would not even dissolve in reagents that dissolve blood, and one investigator found traces of what appeared to be paint. An art expert concluded that the image had been produced by an artistic printing technique. The commission's report was withheld until 1976 and then was largely suppressed, while a rebuttal report was made freely available.Further examinations were conducted in 1978 by the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP). STURP was a group of mostly religious believers whose leaders s erved on the Executive Council of the Holy Shroud guild, a Catholic organisation that advocated the cause of the supposed relic.STURP pathologist Robert Bucklin argued for the images anatomical correctness, yet a footprint on the cloth is inconsistent with the position of the leg to which it is attached, the hair falls as for a standing rather than recumbent figure, and the physique is so unnaturally elongated (similar to figures in Gothic art) that one pro-shroud pathologist concluded that Jesus must have suffered from Marfan's syndrome.Famed microanalyst, Walter C. McCrone, examined 32 tape-lifted samples from the shroud and identified the 'blood' as tempera paint containing red ochre and vermilion along with traces of rose madder. These were the pigments used by medieval artists to depict blood. He also discovered on the image - but not the background - significant amounts of red ochre pigment. He first thought this was applied as a dry powder but later concluded that it was a component of dilute paint applied in the medieval grisaille (monochromatic) style. McCrone was held to a secrecy agreement, while statements were made to the press that there was no evidence of artistry. He says he was "drummed out" of STURP. Joe Nickell (Science and Religion: Are They Compatible?, Science Versus Shroud Science) says that STURP representatives paid a surprise visit to McCrone's lab to confiscate his samples, then gave them to two late additions to STURP, John Heller and Alan Adler, neither of whom was a forensic serologist or pigment expert. The pair soon proclaimed they had "identified the presence of blood".The Shroud has also been carbon dated. Three laboratories were each given two samples of cloth, one from the shroud and one control sample. The results all stated that the linen was produced around 1250-1390 CE.The Catholic Church seems unwilling to allow further tests at this stage, and further tests will in any case be as inconclusive as some claim existing tests have been, unless independence and transparency of the process are assured.
What do Electrolyte tests come from?
Electrolyte tests are performed from routine blood tests
Is the Shroud of Turin older than 900 years old?
Yes, recent scientific studies have conclusively proved that the Shroud can be dated to the period 300 BC to 400 AD in or near the Holy Land. You may view all the evidence at the Shroud of Turin website, and read the article from USA Today at the links below. From USA Today, 30 March 2013Many experts have stood by a 1988 carbon-14 dating of scraps of the cloth carried out by labs in Oxford, Zurich and Arizona that dated it from 1260 to 1390, which, of course, would rule out its used during the time of Christ. The new test, by scientists at the University of Padua in northern Italy, used the same fibers from the 1988 tests but disputes the findings. The new examination dates the shroud to between 300 BC and 400 AD, which would put it in the era of Christ. It determined that the earlier results may have been skewed by contamination from fibers used to repair the cloth when it was damaged by fire in the Middle Ages, the British newspaper reported. The cloth has been kept at the cathedral since 1578.
