A synthesis of carcass decomposition studies conducted at a tropical (Aw) taphonomy facility: 2013–2022 [PDF]
Forensic Science International: Synergy, 2023 Decomposition studies have been conducted in several regions of the world, but relatively few have investigated taphonomy in tropical environments. Even fewer have explored carcass decomposition during multiple tropical seasons, leaving the relationships

Rebuilding Earth’s first skeletal animals: the original morphology of Corumbella (Ediacaran, Brazil) [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe evolutionary onset of animal biomineralization in the late Ediacaran (ca 555–538 Ma) is marked by the global appearance of enigmatic tubular fossils with unresolved phylogenetic relationships.

Taphonomical investigation applied to clandestine graves
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2023 Taphonomy originates as a branch of palaeontology addressed to the study of processes occurring from the pre-agonic stages of an organism to the recovery of the fossilized palaeontological record.

Pleistocene hominins as a resource for carnivores. A c. 500,000-year-old human femur bearing tooth-marks in North Africa (Thomas Quarry I, Morocco) [PDF]
, 2016 In many Middle Pleistocene sites, the co-occurrence of hominins with carnivores, who both contributed to faunal accumulations, suggests competition for resources as well as for living spaces.

Study of Root Transparency in Different Postmortem Intervals Using Scanning Electron Microscopy
Diagnostics, 2023 In the fields of forensics, the identification of human remains is a recurrent problem. The estimated age at death is one of the copious criteria to be evaluated. In adult teeth, the height of the root dentin transparency is used to estimate age. However,

Bone Diagenesis in Short Timescales: Insights from an Exploratory Proteomic Analysis
Biology, 2021 The evaluation of bone diagenetic phenomena in archaeological timescales has a long history; however, little is known about the origins of the microbes driving bone diagenesis, nor about the extent of bone diagenesis in short timeframes—such as in ...
