Understanding fossil phytolith preservation: the role of partial dissolution in paleoecology and archaeology.
Opaline phytoliths are important microfossils used for paleoecological and archaeological reconstructions that are primarily based on relative ratios of specific morphotypes. Recent studies have shown that phytolith assemblages are prone to post-depositional alteration involving partial dissolution,...
