Keratin Durability Has Implications for the Fossil Record: Results from a 10 Year Feather Degradation Experiment
Keratinous ‘soft tissue’ structures (i.e. epidermally derived and originally non-biomineralized), include feathers, skin, claws, beaks, and hair. Despite their relatively common occurrence in the fossil record (second only to bone and teeth), few studies have addressed natural degradation processes...
