Evolution of Collagen-Degrading Microbes and Their Impact on Fossil Preservation Gaps

The evolution of collagen-degrading microbes explains gaps in the fossil record by showing how these organisms reduced soft-tissue preservation after the Ediacaran period. Researchers traced collagenase gene evolution to link microbial activity with the decline of soft-bodied fossil preservation.
