Smothering of microbial mats by macrobiota: implications for the Ediacara biota

Recent advances in understanding the preservation of the soft-bodied Neoproterozoic Ediacara biota have centred upon the role of microbes in casting the morphologies of static or dead macrobiota on the Precambrian sea floor. This experimental study explores the preservational effects brought about b...
