Earth's earliest and deepest purported fossils may be iron-mineralized chemical gardens

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
Recognizing fossil microorganisms is essential to the study of life's origin and evolution and to the ongoing search for life on Mars. Purported fossil microbes in ancient rocks include common assemblages of iron-mineral filaments and tubes.

Variation and process of life history evolution in insular dwarfism as revealed by a natural experiment

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Islands are a classic focus for evolutionary studies. One topic of great interest has been the evolution of “dwarfs,” significantly smaller island mammals relative to their continental counterparts.

Soft‐Bodied Fossils Are Not Simply Rotten Carcasses – Toward a Holistic Understanding of Exceptional Fossil Preservation

open access: yesBioessays, 2018
Exceptionally preserved fossils are the product of complex interplays of biological and geological processes including burial, autolysis and microbial decay, authigenic mineralization, diagenesis, metamorphism, and finally weathering and exhumation ...

Congruence, fossils and the evolutionary tree of rodents and lagomorphs

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
Given an evolutionary process, we expect distinct categories of heritable data, sampled in ever larger amounts, to converge on a single tree of historical relationships.

Survival of fossils under extreme shocks induced by hypervelocity impacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Experimental data are shown for survival of fossilized diatoms undergoing shocks in the GPa range. The results were obtained from hypervelocity impact experiments which fired fossilized diatoms frozen in ice into water targets.
