Sensitivity of Taphonomic Signatures to Sample Size, Sieve Size, Damage Scoring System, and Target Taxa (2001, methodology): “BEST Department of Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago, 5734 South Ellis Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637 PALAIOS, 2001, V. 16, p. 26–52 The sensitivity of taphonomic signatures to a battery of common sampling and analytic procedures is tested here using modern bivalve death assemblages from the Sa”
Taphonomy and paleobiology (2000, background): “In addition, many field surveys now include time-lapse experimental arrays over multiple years (Walker 1988; Callender et al. 1994; Best and Kidwell 1996; Walker et al. 1998; Parsons et al. 1999; Kennish and Lutz 1999) and in situ assessment of porewater geochemistry (Goldstein et al. 1997; Walker…”
