Hidden molecular clues in marine sediments revealed by untargeted mass spectrometry imaging
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) in sedimentary archives can produce records of molecular proxies at μm-scale resolution. For example, in annually varved sediments of the Santa Barbara Basin, such a fine resolution allows deciphering sub-annual distributions of archaeal tetraether lipids, haptophyte-...
