Title
Unlocking the secrets of how fossils form.
Abstract
The article discusses a study published in the "Analytical Chemistry" journal about the formation of fossils. Using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique, the researchers confirmed the mineralisation of zinc sulfide interfacing to hydroxyapatite in a shrimp fossil from the Araripe Basin in northeastern Brazil. The technique also showed the development of the fossil's fractal characteristic.
