SUMMARY:Microbial Metabolic Innovation: A Constraint On The Early Animal F
 ossil Record? - Phil Vixseboxse - University of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:For most of Earth’s history\, soft tissues were rarely captu
 red by the fossil record. Yet\, for a brief window in the Ediacaran and ea
 rly Palaeozoic\, exceptional preservation of animal soft tissues was commo
 nplace. Probing the genomes of a diverse array of microorganisms reveals m
 etabolic innovations that substantially increase the decay rate of animal 
 tissues\, coincident with the decline of Ediacaran-style exceptional prese
 rvation.
