New publication covering how biological cells fossilize as biopolymers

[edit]

Here is a recent, peer-reviewed publication describing, for the first time with in-depth chemistry, how biological cells and soft tissues preserve into the fossil record as biopolymers. Since this page is on biopolymer preservation, I think the information from this publication may be desirable to add. Here is the link to the actual article:

And here is a link to a news article that describes the peer-reviewed article in layman's terms:
