Konservat-Lagerstätten: cause and classification

摘要: A review of the processes required for exceptional preservation soft-bodied fossils demonstrates that anoxia does not significantly inhibit decay and emphasizes importance early diagenetic mineralization. Early diagenesis is principal factor amongst complex leading to soft-part preservation. The development a particular preservational mineral controlled by rate burial, amount organic detritus, salinity. new causative classification fossil biotas presented based upon mineralogy paragenesis.
