Taphonomy of Early Triassic fish fossils of the Vega-Phroso Siltstone Member of the Sulphur Mountain Formation near Wapiti Lake, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2013
The taphonomy of fishes living in lacustrine environments has been extensively studied in both the laboratory and the fossil record; the taphonomy of marine fishes, however, is poorly known.

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 ...

Experimental taphonomy of organelles and the fossil record of early eukaryote evolution

Science Advances, 2020
Taphonomy experiments reveal the potential for a fossil record of the origin of complex life. The timing of origin of eukaryotes and the sequence of eukaryogenesis are poorly constrained because their fossil record is difficult to interpret.

Nucleus preservation in early Ediacaran Weng'an embryo-like fossils, experimental taphonomy of nuclei and implications for reading the eukaryote fossil record

Interface Focus, 2020
The challenge of identifying fossilized organelles has long hampered attempts to interpret the fossil record of early eukaryote evolution. We explore this challenge through experimental taphonomy of nuclei in a living eukaryote and microscale physical ...

A record of fossil shallow-water whale falls from Italy [PDF]

, 2014
Twenty-five Neogene-Quaternary whales hosted in Italian museum collections and their associated fauna were analysed for evidence of whale-fall community development in shallow-water settings.

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 ...

Survival of environmental DNA in sediments: Mineralogic control on DNA taphonomy

bioRxiv, 2020
Extraction of environmental DNA (eDNA) from sediments are providing ground-breaking views of the past ecosystems and biodiversity. Despite this rich source of information, it is still unclear which sediments favour preservation and why.
