Involvement of microbial mats in early fossilization by decay delay and formation of impressions and replicas of vertebrates and invertebrates
Microbial mats have been hypothesized to improve the persistence and the preservation of organic remains during fossilization processes. We test this hypothesis with long-term experiments (up to 5.5 years) using invertebrate and vertebrate corpses. Once placed on mats, the microbial community coats...
