New paper out in Royal Society Open Science! With Sanaa and George Wedlake, we revisit the Proterozoic microfossil record to review what it can tell us about early eukaryote evolution, and how new tools are renewing and enhancing its utility. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

🚨Another little promotional piece, this time from our collaborators in Utah. I hope this blog post will help, even in a small way, to raise awareness among Utahns about the fantastic Cambrian paleontological archive their state holds.
