Experimental taphonomy of Artemia reveals the role of endogenous microbes in mediating decay and fossilization

Exceptionally preserved fossils provide major insights into the evolutionary history of life. Microbial activity is thought to play a pivotal role in both the decay of organisms and the preservation of soft tissue in the fossil record, though this has been the subject of very little experimental inv...
