Tafonomía de huesos de aves. Estado de la cuestión y perspectivasdesde el sur del Neotrópico

Antípoda: Revista de Antropología y Arqueología, 2011
Current studies on bird bones conducted at the Neotropics show that differences in the impact of taphonomic processes are mainly due to body size and anatomy, as well as to the role of environmental and ecological contexts.

Unusual occurrence of Cochlichnus in aeolian sandstones: evidence for a stiletto fly larval origin

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Cochlichnus anguineus is an ichnotaxon recognized for its distinctive regular wavy morphology. It is a characteristic trace fossil typically associated with aquatic and marginal aquatic environments. However, in this study we examine its unusual occurrence in the aeolian sandstones of the Botucatu Formation (Lower Cretaceous, Paraná Basin ...

Shifting the Paradigm: Redefining the Chronostratigraphy of the Triassic Rewan Group, Bowen Basin, Australia

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
New U–Pb zircon dating shows the Rewan Group was deposited between ~250 and 233 million years ago and that sedimentation shifted across the basin through time, with earlier deposition in the foredeep and later deposition in the back bulge. Testing multiple dating approaches and grain‐selection strategies improves confidence in these age estimates and ...

The Late Pleistocene microvertebrate fauna of the Vaskapu Cave (North Hungary) and its taphonomical, biostratigraphical and palaeoecological implications

, 2013
About 60 years later than the systematic excavation in 1933 carried out by Dr. Mária Mottl and her coworkers, the Vaskapu locality in North Hungary was rediscovered by Dr. János Hír.

Nutrient Hotspots Through Time: A Field Guide to Modern and Fossil Taphonomy in East Tennessee

, 2018
Hotspots represent the ephemeral introduction of nutrients into an environment, and occur in both the modern and geologic past. The annual deposition of deciduous leaves in temperate forests, tree falls, animal excrement, and vertebrate carcass ...

The effects of vertebrate animals on exposed cadavers: Findings from an experiment

, 2022
Vertebrate animals have the ability to alter exposed human remains in outdoor contexts. They can feed from (scavenge) the soft tissue and bones, or disperse and remove body parts and bones. Scavenging can effect various analyses, including the estimation

New data on the sarcopterygian Koharalepis jarviki (Tetrapodomorpha; Canowindridae) from the Late Devonian of Antarctica, revealed via synchrotron and neutron tomography

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionThe ‘osteolepiforms’ are an extinct order of lobe-finned fishes that had a cosmopolitan distribution, which are often considered for their proximity to the vertebrate water-to-land transition.

Vertebrate Taphonomy and Paleoecology of a Cretaceous-Paleogene Marine Bonebed [PDF]

, 2016
In 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.
