fossilesque, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago) Introducing Spooky Exoskeletal Sporopollenin!!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporopollenin Sporopollenin, recognized as one of the most chemically resilient biological polymers, forms a crucial component of the robust outer (exine) walls of spores and pollen grains in plants. It’s been found in rock up to 500,000 years old iirc.
