‘Closer look demonstrates that the impression resulted from decay of a modern beehive’

In this month’s ‘Science Notes’, we explore recent research that has tested whether zinc (Zn) isotopes could be used as a proxy for nitrogen in such cases.

Last year, a new team of researchers observed signs of significant decay where the imprint was once spotted, which is quite unusual for a fossil.
