A mineralogical signature for Burgess Shale–type fossilization
Burgess Shale-type (BST) fossilization of carbonaceous remains that are ordinarily lost to decay is critical to our understanding of the early evolution of complex life. Sediment composition, particularly the abundance of certain clay minerals, has been invoked as a significant factor in BST foss...
