Molecular Taphonomy of Heme: Chemical Degradation of Hemin under Presumed Fossilization Conditions
The metalloporphyrin heme acts as the oxygen-complexing prosthetic group of hemoglobin in blood. Heme has been noted to survive for many millions of years in fossils. Here, we investigate its stability and degradation under various conditions expected to occur during fossilization. Oxidative, reduct...
