埋葬学（古生物学分支，研究生物被埋葬变成化石的过程）
Example sentencesExamples
- The history of hexapod disparity, as well as the potential effects of taphonomy on disparity measurement, is deserving of continued study.
- Much research on taphonomy emphasizes taphonomic loss, in which the differences between the original living community and the preserved remains are viewed as being detrimental.
- He provided valuable syntheses on taphonomy and biogeography along with numerous papers detailing new species.
- A full understanding of the taphonomy of any exceptionally preserved fauna is essential to ensure that the evidence it provides is correctly interpreted.
- Those important concepts have helped me to understand better the relationship between ecology and taphonomy, and the fundamental conditions leading to exceptional preservation in the Phanerozoic.
- In time, he became fascinated by issues of taphonomy and paleoecology and read extensively on these subjects.
- One of taphonomy's maxims is that the most common animals at a fossil site and/or the animals whose remains there are the most complete are most likely the ones to have inhabited the area in life.
- In this paper, we examine the taphonomy of a modern avian bone assemblage and test the relationship between ecological data based on avifaunal skeletal remains and known ecological attributes of a living bird community.
- The sedimentology, taphonomy and palaeoecology of the Dinosaur Park Formation have been studied in detail.
- However, differences in sampling and taphonomy preclude taking those results at face value; thus, we discuss methods of standardizing comparisons and calculating species accumulation curves for fossil data.
- Nevertheless, particularly for the study trace fossils at the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian, I find it preferable to look for similarities, and to critically evaluate the taphonomy of each morphological feature.
- With this information in hand, various aspects of evolution, biogeography, and taphonomy of Ediacaran organisms can now be readdressed.
- Obviously the authors had a unique opportunity to examine the surfaces of large rock slabs to analyze in detail trace-fossil taphonomy.
- To do so requires a careful look at the many current problems presented by Cambrian fossils, including those stemming from systematics, taphonomy and dating.
- New field data, however, can be collected to standardized protocols and can therefore provide much more information on composition, abundance, taphonomy, and so on.
- I've already praised the dinosaur distribution chapter for its utility, but I was puzzled to see the biogeography chapter separate from it, with intervening chapters on taphonomy and paleoecology.
- The taphonomy and paleoecology of this giant foraminiferan are briefly evaluated based on comparison with modern examples of Bathysiphon and with other Cretaceous examples from the same region.
- This rarity may simply be a function of the taphonomy and collection history of the localities where Ansomys has been found, it may also be that it indicates low abundance in the communities from which the fossil assemblages were derived.
- The intrinsic effects of biology and the extrinsic effects of taphonomy, collection, preparation, and observation provide a useful framework for discussion of epibiont preservational biases.
- Not all these fossils are in pristine condition, however, as taphonomy has taken its toll.

Derivatives

taphonomic

adjectivetafəˈnɒmɪk

All told, Europe boasts a richer Paleogene avifauna in terms of number and taphonomic variety of fossil localities and diversity of avian taxa compared with other continents.
Example sentencesExamples
- Because of their great dominance and the relatively small sample area, meaningful taphonomic patterns could be discerned for only the Cordaites remains.
- Meaningful interpretation of the fossil record thus requires the identification of contributing taphonomic pathways and their differential distribution in both time and space.
- Thus, any taphonomic bias that affects graptolite preservation in the lower Hirnantian applies to all study areas being considered here.
- To accomplish these, however, a more thorough paleontological investigation of each taphonomic facies is necessary.

taphonomist

noun

Intensive interdisciplinary research by archaeologists, anthropologists, geologists, taphonomists, animal behaviourists and psychologists has proved Darwin right on both scores.
Example sentencesExamples
- Until more archaeologists, not just faunal analysts and taphonomists, recognize the range and variety of animals that can deposit marine or estuarine animal remains into archaeological localities, insufficient research attention will be paid to distinguishing taphonomic agents.
- The probability of fossilization is investigated by taphonomists and geologists, who have concluded that it usually is very low.
- She is also part of a large group of oceanographers and taphonomists of the SSETI project (Shelf / Slope Taphonomic Initiative) examining carbonate preservation and destruction across the shelf and slope regions in Gulf of Mexico and Bahamas using submersibles.
- By helping to solve puzzles like this, taphonomists increase our understanding of the fossil record.

Origin

1940s: from Greek taphos 'grave' + -nomy.
