Merger proposal
editI would like to propose merging Paleoproteomics into Ancient protein. It seems that the content in Paleoproteomics could be illustrated and explained in the context of Ancient Protein, and a merger would not result in any article-size or weighting problems in the destination page. Many thanks and please let me know if you have any concerns. I have already started the merging process, since these are duplicate pages and the need is not controversial.

I found a recent peer-reviewed publication that looks to be the first ever to directly image ancient proteins with scanning electron microscopy. Specifically, Figure 1 of the publication shows the difference in preservation of type-1 bone collagen protein between a modern cow, a permafrost Mammuthus primigenius, and a temperate Mammuthus columbi. The paper shows how the preservational state of tissues and some biomolecules can potentially be tracked visually throughout the fossil record. A link to the paper (it's open access) is given below:

First direct scanning electron microscope imaging of ancient protein
