Investigating the Putative Diagenetic Origins for Neoproterozoic Sponge Steranes
Living organisms often leave molecular traces in the fossil record and these can provide a lens to understand the history of life on Earth, even when body fossils are not present. One widely discussed molecular fossil, useful for unraveling the record of animal life, is 24-isopropylcholestane (24-ip...
