X-rays and virtual taphonomy resolve the first Cissus (Vitaceae) macrofossils from Africa as early diverging members of the genus [PDF]

, 2016
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Fossilized seeds similar to Cissus (Vitaceae) have been recognized from the Miocene of Kenya, though some were previously assigned to the Menispermaceae.

Analyse préliminaire et discussion sur la nature d’un dépôt dentaire très particulier

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2005
An unusual dental deposit characterizes a skeleton from the excavation of the medieval graveyard at Clarensac (Gard, France). Its large size led us to investigate its origin, but the results of macroscopic examination alone are inconclusive.

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

Boreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Contribution à la connaissance des modes de dislocation et de destruction du squelette pendant la crémation : l’apport du bûcher funéraire en fosse du Néolithique final à Reichstett-Mundolsheim (Bas-Rhin)

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2005
An archaeological excavation carried out on the site of Reichstett-Mundolsheim, near Strasbourg, produced a circular pit dated to the beginning of the Late Neolithic period which contained a simultaneous primary cremation of eleven individuals. The large

Heterodonty in the teeth of the turiasaurian sauropod from Angeac‐Charente (Early Cretaceous, southwestern France): Comparison of anatomical and geometric morphometric approaches

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Turiasaurian teeth from Angeac‐Charente exhibit five dental morphotypes and reveal clear heterodonty and anteroposterior size gradient. Qualitative comparative anatomy quickly and efficiently identifies morphotypes, while 3D geometric morphometrics combined with machine learning refine ambiguous cases, demonstrating that qualitative and quantitative ...

Taphonomy and death investigations

, 2011
Determining the approximate time of death in human remains presents criminal investigators with a complex dilemma. This is particularly true when advanced decomposition has already set in.

Forensic Taphonomy

, 2023
Forensic taphonomy is the study of human decomposition to determine circumstances and time-of- death. The taphonomic processes of decomposition commence almost immediately following death. Decomposition is a continuum and there are many taphonomic agents

Elevational patterns in plant breeding systems and pollen limitation in Afrotropical montane grasslands

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hand‐pollination in Afromontane grasslands on Mount Cameroon showed mid‐elevation seed production peaks, summit pollen limitation and no selfing increase, indicating limited reproductive assurance. Abstract Plant reproduction along elevational gradients may be limited by insufficient pollination service, variation in selfing capacity or post ...

Siliceous sponges or seawater as a silicon source? Tracing silicon burial pathways of the Upper Cretaceous opal‐CT deposits using δ30Si and δ7Li

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Classical models of formation of sedimentary siliceous rocks (flint, chert, opoka) commonly assume that the Cretaceous marine silicon (Si) cycle was primarily biologically controlled, broadly analogous to the modern ocean. In this framework, siliceous sponges are regarded as the principal source of dissolved silica (dSi) to sediment porewaters,
