Hi Everyone,
I stumbled across some interesting articles where mtDNA was extracted from fossilized bones and a single pollen grain. This made me wonder if this could also be done with cephalopod fossils? I have spent the past couple of days scouring google scholar for references with no luck (I'm starting to think it's not possible). Does anyone know of any references for (or against) this idea?
Also, has anyone ever looked for cephalopod remains in sediment/permafrost cores at the poles?
Thanks in advance
