> Has anyone ever seen an analysis of marrow that they could share with me?

I myself once wasted a lot of time searching such an analysis on the
Web, without success. The only data I've ever seen on marrow was
posted on the Paleodiet list, but there is no info on beef bone
marrow. However, one would expect it to be mainly monounsaturated fat.
