Processes leading to exceptional soft-tissue preservation in Mazon Creek (Carboniferous) concretions: A combined palaeontological, organic and inorganic geochemical approach

This thesis used lipid biomarkers, combined with a range of multidisciplinary techniques, to characterise molecular preservation in Carboniferous fossil samples, from the renowned Mazon Creek fossil Lagerstätte. Overall, it was demonstrated that rapid encapsulation of organic matter within carbonate...
