#Dinosaur #feathers reveal traces of ancient proteins https://phys.org/news/2023-09-dinosaur-feathers-reveal-ancient-proteins.html
Preservation of corneous Ξ²-#proteins in #Mesozoic feathers: Tiffany Slater et al.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-023-02177-8
"Traces of ancient #biomolecules can clearly survive for millions of years, but you can't read the #fossil record literally because even seemingly well-preserved fossil tissues have been cooked and squashed during #fossilization."

Study of #fossil katydids provides new insights into the evolution of the Mesozoic soundscape
https://phys.org/news/2022-12-fossil-katydids-insights-evolution-mesozoic.htmlHigh acoustic diversity and behavioral complexity of #katydids in the #Mesozoic #soundscape https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2210601119
"The newly found #TympanalEars in prophalangopsid katydids from the Middle #Jurassic represent the earliest-known #insect #ears, extending the age range of the modern-type auditory tympana by 100 million years to the #MiddleJurassic, some 160 million years ago"
