Promotion of Paleontological Heritage: Case Histories from Southern Italy

Heritage
The preservation of paleontological heritage is relevant for paleobiological and geological research, as well as for scientific dissemination. Fossils are indicative of the evolutionary processes, biodiversity, ecology, and geography of the past and ...

Cretaceous dinosaur bone contains recent organic material and provides an environment conducive to microbial communities

eLife, 2019
Fossils were thought to lack original organic molecules, but chemical analyses show that some can survive. Dinosaur bone has been proposed to preserve collagen, osteocytes, and blood vessels.

A mathematical description of fossilization

Royal Society Open Science
Fossils constitute an inestimable archive of past life on the Earth. However, the stochastic processes driving decay and fossilization and overwhelmingly distorting this archive, are challenging to interpret. Consequently, concepts of exceptional or poor

Fossil Collection at the Zoology Museum of the University of Concepción: enhancing understanding of Chile's past biodiversity [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
The digital inventory of paleontological material stored in Chilean museums is highly relevant as it increases accessibility to information, both locally and over long distances, while reducing wear and tear on specimens caused by physical manipulation ...

The late Miocene Phractocephalus catfish (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) from Urumaco, Venezuela: additional specimens and reinterpretation as a distinct species

Neotropical Ichthyology
Based on additional specimens the fossil pimelodid catfish from the upper Miocene Urumaco Formation, Falcón State, Venezuela originally assigned to the extant species Phractocephalus hemioliopterus is described as a new, extinct species. †Phractocephalus

When are Fossils Data?

Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology
Existing accounts of data are unclear about whether the epistemic role objects play makes them data, or whether data have to be produced by human interaction with the world – these two features can come apart.
