Geological Journal, EarlyView.This study reports the exceptional preservation of the Eocene freshwater bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis from Hokkaido, Japan. Multimodal analyses reveal that both the aragonitic shell mineralogy and the delicate organic periostracum retain their original structural and chemical characteristics after millions of years.

How Can Taphonomy Be Defined in the XXI Century?
, 2011 Taphonomy, as a branch of learning and a research area, has undergone a tremendous growth in the past few decades. It has extended its application from palaeontology to other disciplines, it has broadened its referential scope and has incorporated humans

Rebuilding Earth’s first skeletal animals: the original morphology of Corumbella (Ediacaran, Brazil)
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.

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...
