Ray finned fishes account for more than half of living vertebrate diversity, yet their early diversifications remain mysterious. This project will use mu-CT and Synchrotron tomography to investigate the preservation of soft tissues in fossils from those early diversifications. Experimental taphonomy will also be used to better understand the conditions under which such exceptional preservation occurs.

鳐鱼占现存脊椎动物多样性的一半以上，但它们早期的多样性仍然是个谜。该项目将使用mu-CT和同步加速器断层扫描来研究这些早期分化的化石中软组织的保存情况。实验埋藏法也将用于更好地了解这种特殊保存发生的条件。
