This project investigates ancient biomolecules preserved in fossil soft tissues, focusing on keratin, melanin, and collagen. It aims to develop new methods for analyzing these biomolecules and understanding their preservation processes, ultimately enhancing our knowledge of animal evolution and the fossil record.
What are the limits of the fossil record?
Ancient biomolecules are critically important given their potential to inform on phylogenetic relationships and the processes driving evolutionary change.
Research to date, however, lacks cohesion and breadth, is strongly biased towards bone, and often fails to consider the impact of analytical bias and fossilization processes.
This proposal sets a new, focussed agenda for the study of ancient biomolecules based on the characterization of thin carbon fil…
