- Biopolymer transformation in organisms during fossilization are used in an organismic approach to evaluate their contribution to sedimentary organic matter
- Features investigations including experiments of the morphology, ultrastructure and chemical composition of diverse terrestrial plant and animal fossils
- Presents how various biomolecules that constitute organisms transform in earth history and shed light on their occurrence in modern taxa and survivability in the fossil record
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
