Norwegian term or phrase: beinmark
Example: ... til å kunne lage ekstra beinmarksutstryk fra benmargsprøven.
Looking at some translations, both words appear to be used to mean bone marrow but how could that make sense here?

bone marker


Explanation:
See the first link for a Norwegian use that describes these in the example sentence. Second link is Google results for "bone markers". the English example is from the first of those.

Example sentence(s):
  • Biokjemiske beinmarkører er en gruppe enzymer og matriksproteiner som produseres av osteoklaster, osteoblaster og fibroblaster, samt en del nedbrytningsprodukter fra beinmatriksen.
  • Bone markers are blood and urine tests that detect products of bone remodeling to help determine if the rate of bone resorption and/or formation is abnormally increased, suggesting a potential bone disorder
