Cuticle Preservation

Cuticle Preservation is a taphonomic process denoting the exceptional retention of the plant cuticle—a biopolymer-dominated outer epidermal layer—during fossilization, distinguishing it from other modes of plant fossil preservation by its specificity to lipid-rich, chemically resistant organic films that maintain cellular and ultrastructural details over geological time.
