The Class Strophomenata (Brachiopoda) in Devonian deposits from the state of Paraná: a case study

Terr@ Plural, 2022
The Strophomenata are extinct and presumably confined to the Paleozoic Rhynchonelliformea brachiopods. The class comprises the orders Strophomenida, Productida, Orthotetida, and Billingsellida.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Decomposition in an extreme cold environment and associated microbiome—prediction model implications for the postmortem interval estimation

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe accurate estimation of postmortem interval (PMI), the time between death and discovery of the body, is crucial in forensic science investigations as it impacts legal outcomes.

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 ...

Soft-Tissue, Rare Earth Element, and Molecular Analyses of Dreadnoughtus schrani, an Exceptionally Complete Titanosaur from Argentina

Biology, 2022
Evidence that organic material preserves in deep time (>1 Ma) has been reported using a wide variety of analytical techniques. However, the comprehensive geochemical data that could aid in building robust hypotheses for how soft-tissues persist over ...
