Soft-bodied Preservation

Soft-Bodied Preservation is a taphonomic process within the broader category of fossil preservation that specifically entails the exceptional retention of non-mineralized tissues and morphological structures in sedimentary geological contexts, distinguishing it from typical modes of fossilization dominated by biomineralized remains.
