Minerals in the gut: scoping a Cambrian digestive system [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The Sirius Passet Lagerstätte of North Greenland contains the first exceptionally preserved mat-ground community of the Cambrian, dominated, in terms of abundance, by trilobites but particularly characterized by iconic arthropods and lobopods, some also ...

A preliminary examination of differential decomposition patterns in mass graves [PDF]
, 2014 This study represents a preliminary, quantitative approach to the examination of differential decomposition patterns in mass graves. Five pairs of mass graves, each containing the carcasses of 21 rabbits, were used to examine decomposition rates at four ...

A new subdisarticulated machaeridian from the Middle Devonian of China: Insights into taphonomy and taxonomy using X-ray microtomography and 3D-analysis [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2017 Machaeridians are an extinct group of armoured annelids, which are mainly known from isolated sclerites present from the Ordovician to the Permian. Based on articulated specimens with preserved soft-tissues and trace fossils, derived machaeridians are ...

Preliminary soilwater conductivity analysis to date clandestine burials of homicide victims [PDF]
, 2010 This study reports on a new geoscientific method to estimate the post-burial interval (PBI) and potential post-mortem interval (PMI) date of homicide victims in clandestine graves by measuring decomposition fluid conductivities.

Population structure of graptolite assemblages [PDF]
, 1998 Graptolite rhabdosomes display a diverse suite of morphologies. The range of morphotypes present within most moderate to high diversity assemblages from the Ordovician and Silurian is similar, despite the different taxonomic composition of the faunas at ...

Human Processing of Rodents in Patagonia: The Relevance of Historical and Ethnographical Data for Archaeological Interpretations [PDF]
, 2019 The consumption of small mammals was a widespread practice between indigenous societies worldwide. Modern taphonomic studies carried out upon bone assemblages from archaeological sites in northern Patagonia (Argentina) demonstrate thatCaviomorph rodents ...

Testing the impact of diagenesis on the delta O-18 and delta C-13 of benthic foraminiferal calcite from a sediment burial depth transect in the equatorial Pacific [PDF]
, 2013 Stable oxygen and carbon isotope (δ18O and δ13C) values measured in foraminiferal calcite are one of the primary tools used in paleoceanography. Diagenetic recrystallisation of foraminiferal calcite can act to reset primary isotopic values but its ...

Late Miocene Turtles of Grytsiv (western Ukraine) with Rodent Gnaw Marks on the Carapace Surface
Zoodiversity, 2023 The paper describes a series of turtle remains from the Early Late Miocene of Grytsiv (Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine). This fossil assemblage was quite diverse and included representatives of four families (Emydidae, Geoemydidae, Testudinidae, and ...
