Taphonomic and Diagenetic Pathways to Protein Preservation, Part I: The Case of <i>Tyrannosaurus rex</i> Specimen MOR 1125

Many recent reports have demonstrated remarkable preservation of proteins in fossil bones dating back to the Permian. However, preservation mechanisms that foster the long-term stability of biomolecules and the taphonomic circumstances facilitating them remain largely unexplored. To address this, we...
