Merger proposal
[edit]I would like to propose merging Paleoproteomics into Ancient protein. It seems that the content in Paleoproteomics could be illustrated and explained in the context of Ancient Protein, and a merger would not result in any article-size or weighting problems in the destination page. Many thanks and please let me know if you have any concerns. I have already started the merging process, since these are duplicate pages and the need is not controversial.

I found a recent peer-reviewed publication that looks to be the first ever to directly image ancient proteins with scanning electron microscopy. Specifically, Figure 1 of the publication shows the difference in preservation of type-1 bone collagen protein between a modern cow, a permafrost Mammuthus primigenius, and a temperate Mammuthus columbi. The paper shows how the preservational state of tissues and some biomolecules can potentially be tracked visually throughout the fossil record. A link to the paper (it's open access) is given below:

First direct scanning electron microscope imaging of ancient protein
