TL;DR: The role of mineral binding in preserving the protein sequence in ostrich (Struthionidae) eggshell is demonstrated, including from the palaeontological sites of Laetoli and Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, demonstrating authenticity of the surviving sequences.

TL;DR: This work shows exceptionally slow racemisation rates during thermal degradation experiments of resin enclosed feathers, relative to previous thermal degradation experiment of ostrich eggshell, coral skeleton, and limpet shell, and recovers amino acids from two specimens of fossil feathers in amber.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Collagen sequence information is utilized, both separately and in combination with published mitochondrial DNA evidence, to assess the relationships of tree sloths and their extinct relatives, illuminating the utility of proteomics in systematics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced five genomes from sub-fossil remains dating from 13,000 to more than 50,000 years ago and found that although they were similar morphologically to the extant grey wolf, dire wolves were a highly divergent lineage that split from living canids around 5.7 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of bone powder for FTIR-ATR analysis: The particle size effect
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of particle size and bone tissue type on the mid-IR spectra and sample variation was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy using attenuated total reflection (ATR).
