Abstract: Pyritized twigs and roots from the Eocene London Clay of SE England were studied to gain a better understanding of the process of pyritization by investigating pyrite textures in relation to cell type and quality of preservation. Highly polished sections and fractured surfaces taken from 124 specimens were examined using optical microscope and SEM, the latter equipped to map pyrite and carbon. Pyrite textures include microcrystalline, framboidal, massive polycrystalline, and subhedr...

Extracting cell contents, such as DNA and protein, from cells with cell walls creates a special challenge because the wall has to be removed without damaging the contents of the cell itself. One method to remove cell walls is to use enzymes to break down cell wall components to release
