Detection of porphyrins in vertebrate fossils from the Messel and implications for organic preservation in the fossil record.
Organic molecules preserved in fossils provide a wealth of new information about ancient life. The discovery of almost unaltered complex organic molecules in well-preserved fossils raise the question of how common such occurrences are in the fossil record, how to differentiate between endogenous and...
