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 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 ...

Taphonomic bias in preservation and representativeness of skeletal samples (a case of Gonur Depe) [PDF]
Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2022 The topic of this article is theoretical and practical issues underlying the problems of representativeness of skeletal samples, as well as age and sex biases in preservation of skeletal remains, and the impact of these factors on paleodemographic ...

Experimental taphonomy of fish - role of elevated pressure, salinity and pH
Scientific Reports, 2020 Experiments are reported to reconstruct the taphonomic pathways of fish toward fossilisation. Acrylic glass autoclaves were designed that allow experiments to be carried out at elevated pressure up to 11 bar, corresponding to water depths of 110 m ...

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 ...
