Soft Tissue and Biomolecular Preservation in Vertebrate Fossils from Glauconitic, Shallow Marine Sediments of the Hornerstown Formation, Edelman Fossil Park, New Jersey
BIOLOGY-BASEL, 11(8).
author keywords: soft tissues; molecular preservation; collagen; Hornerstown Formation; shallow marine; glauconite
TL;DR:
P paleomolecular analyses of shallow marine vertebrate fossils from the Cretaceous–Paleogene Hornerstown Formation, an 80–90% glauconitic greensand from Jean and Ric Edelman Fossil Park in Mantua Township, NJ, corroborate previous findings that original soft tissue and proteins can be recovered from fossils preserved in marine environments and expand the range of ancient environments documented to preserve original organics and soft tissues.

Soft-Tissue, Rare Earth Element, and Molecular Analyses of Dreadnoughtus schrani, an Exceptionally Complete Titanosaur from Argentina
BIOLOGY-BASEL, 11(8).
author keywords: fossil proteins; molecular paleontology; diagenesis; taphonomy; rare earth elements; soft-tissue preservation; geochemistry
TL;DR:
The data show that original bone microstructures and protein are preserved in Dreadnoughtus, and that after burial, the specimen was exposed to weakly-oxidizing conditions and groundwaters rich in “light” REEs but experienced little further chemical alteration after this early stage of fossilization, supporting the idea that fossils showing lower concentrations of REEs are well suited for molecular analyses.

The molecular evolution of feathers with direct evidence from fossils
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116(8), 3018–3023.
author keywords: feather evolution; keratin expression; fossil-feather ultrastructure; dinosaur-bird transition; biomechanical properties
MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Dinosaurs; Evolution, Molecular; Feathers / chemistry; Feathers / ultrastructure; Fossils; Keratins / chemistry; Skin / chemistry; Skin / ultrastructure; beta-Keratins / chemistry
TL;DR:
It is confirmed here that feathers were modified at both molecular and morphological levels to obtain the biomechanical properties for flight during the dinosaur–bird transition, and it is shown that the patterns and timing of adaptive change at the molecular level can be directly addressed in exceptionally preserved fossils in deep time.
