- W1967616965 abstract "The fossilised soft tissues of a tadpole and an associated coprolitic structure from the organic-rich volcanoclastic lacustrine Upper Oligocene Enspel sediments (Germany) were investigated using high-resolution imaging techniques and nondestructive in situ surface analysis. Total organic carbon analysis of the coprolite and the sediment revealed values of 28.9 and 8.9% respectively. The soft tissues from the tadpole and the coprolite were found to be composed of 0.5 to 1 μm-sized spheres and rod shapes. These features are interpreted as the fossil remains of bacterial biofilms consisting probably of heterotrophic bacteria and fossilised extracellular polymeric substances. They became fossilised while in the process of degrading the organic matter of the organism and the coprolite. Comparison with a modern marine biofilm revealed morphologic details identical to those observed in the fossil bacterial biofilms. Although the fossil biofilms on both macrofossils exhibited identical microtextures, their mode of preservation was inhomogeneous and varied between calcium phosphate and an as yet unidentified mineral phase consisting mainly of Si, Ca, Ti, P, and S, but also showing the presence of Mg, Al, and Fe. The coprolite consists purely of fossilised bacterial cells in a densely packed arrangement and associated fossilised extracellular polymeric substances. In addition to preliminary imaging and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, both the fossil biofilms and the sediment were investigated by nondestructive in situ analysis using time of flight-secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS). The mass spectra obtained on the coprolite in mass-resolved chemical mapping mode allowed the tentative identification of a number of organic secondary ion species. Some spectra appear to indicate the presence of bacterial hopanoids, but further work using standard techniques such as gas chromatography mass spectroscopy is needed to conclusively verify the presence of these substances. Nevertheless, ToF-SIMS chemical maps were successfully correlated with electron microscopy images, allowing the correlation of molecular spectra, the spatial distribution of individual organic species, and specific morphologic features to demonstrate the potential of this approach in the analysis of microfossils." @default.
