The aim of the atlas is to provide images of taphonomic modifications, making it as
comprehensive as possible with evidence presently available. This volume is intended both …

Geological heritage sites (geosites) are sites that contain information about the state and the
dynamics of the Earth. Paleogeographical (paleoenvironmental) geosites preserve …

The taphonomic history of single fossils or of fossil assemblages provides evidence
additional to that given by taxonomic identification. Too often taphonomy is viewed as …

We report taphonomic and palaeoecologic data on the rich, diverse and well preserved
assemblage of large mammals from lower Pleistocene deposits at Venta Micena (Orce …

The current knowledge about the ammonoid/habitat relation is reviewed and in part newly
interpreted. The autecology of ammonoids, such as ontogeny and habitat, based on …

The aim of this paper is to provide a summary of structural or surface modifications of
vertebrate bone remains in continental palaeoenvironments that may have repercussions on …

The origin of most fossil small mammal assemblages is predation by avian or mammalian
predators. Bone corrosion by gastric juices observed in these fossils is direct evidence of …

The growing use of unconformities as bounding surfaces for new types of stratigraphic units
seems not to be matched by a corresponding effort on process-oriented researches on …

The processes of fossilization have usually been perceived by paleontologists as destructive
ones, leading to consecutive (and in most cases irretrievable) losses of paleobiological …

Taphonomy deals with the differential decay of organismic shapes, tissues, and skeletons
under the influence of biological and physical agents and their fixation in the fossil record …
