Scientists find new markers to identify species from fragments of fossilized bone
What happened to all the megafauna? From moas to mammoths, many large animals went extinct between 50 and 10,000 years ago. Learning why could provide crucial evidence about prehistoric ecosystems and help us understand future potential extinctions. But surviving fossils are often too fragmented to determine the original species, and DNA is not always recoverable, especially in hot or damp environments.
Scientists have found new markers to identify species from fossilized bone fragments and help understand the mysterious extinctions of megafauna. ...
