The taphonomy of vertebrate melanosomes
, 2020 The field of fossil colour is emerging rapidly as a new focus of palaeobiological research. Evidence of melanosomes, micron-sized organelles containing melanin, found in skin, feathers and hair of exceptionally preserved fossil vertebrates has been used to infer melanin-based integumentary colouration of extinct animals.

, 1994 Taphonomy studies the transition of organic matter from the biosphere into the geological record. It is particularly relevant to zooarchaeologists and paleobiologists, who analyse organic remains in the archaeological record in an attempt to reconstruct hominid subsistence patterns and paleoecological conditions.

Forensic taphonomy: Vertebrate scavenging in the temperate southwestern Cape, South Africa
Forensic Science International, 2018 Vertebrate scavenging can significantly accelerate the rate of decomposition, which can hinder estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI). Patterns of decomposition and scavenging are highly specific to different environments in a forensic context, with no known data for South Africa.

Rare Earth Element Geochemistry and Taphonomy of Terrestrial Vertebrate Assemblages
PALAIOS, 1999 Most taphonomic analyses of vertebrate remains have focused upon physical processes. Chemical processes only rarely are addressed, leaving a large untapped store of quantitative taphonomic information contained within the bones themselves. In this paper, the rare earth element (REE) signature of fossil bones in terrestrial deposits is shown to be ...

Taphonomy and palaeoecology of the lower Miocene marine vertebrate assemblage of Ullujaya (Chilcatay Formation, East Pisco Basin, southern Peru) [PDF]
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2018 The taphonomy and palaeoecology of the early Miocene (Burdigalian) vertebrate assemblage of Ullujaya (East Pisco Basin, Peru) is here described. Vertebrate remains are concentrated in marine facies (Ct1a association) of the exposed Chilcatay Formation (

Of late little work has been done on Palaeozoic fossil fish taphonomy especially in the Devonian period, [known also as the Age of Fishes], apart from the best-known Lagerstatten. Konservat deposits in the Silurian are rarer even though they have produced the earliest described complete fossil fish.

Vertebrate taphonomy and paleoecology of a Cretaceous-Paleogene marine bonebed
2021In this dissertation, I characterize the vertebrate taphonomy and paleoecology of the Cretaceous-Paleogene Main Fossiliferous Layer (MFL) of the Hornerstown Formation, exposed at the Rowan Fossil Quarry in Mantua Township, New Jersey. The MFL has been proposed to represent a: 1) reworked deposit; 2) time-averaged deposit; or 3) a mass-death assemblage,

Procedures in vertebrate taphonomy; notes on a Uganda Miocene fossil locality
Journal of the Geological Society, 1972Before palaeoecological statements are made concerning the assemblage of fossil vertebrates at a particular site it is essential to understand the factors which have controlled bone accumulation. In this way some allowance can be made for the biases which must inevitably cause a fossil collection to differ from the living ...
