Taphonomic experiments resolve controls on the preservation of melanosomes and keratinous tissues in feathers

Fossils are a key source of data on the evolution of feather structure and function through deep time, but their ability to resolve macroevolutionary questions is compromised by an incomplete understanding of their taphonomy. Critically, the relative preservation potential of two key feather compone...
