• Assemblage palaeoecology of the Ediacara biota: The unabridged edition? (2006, background): “These processes include: 1) Taphonomic biases in preservation: Just as the various Phanerozoic soft bodied fossil lagerstätten represent preservation of only a portion of the present fauna (e.g., Butterfield, 2002, 2003), this needs to be considered here.”
• New anatomical information on Anomalocaris from the Cambrian Emu Bay Shale of South Australia and a reassessment of its inferred predatory habits (2013, background): “Other Cambrian taxa such as the armoured lobopodians Kerygmachela (Budd 1999) and Pambdelurion (Budd 1998) and the euarthropod Leanchoilia (Butterfield 2002) have gut diverticula with a similar shape and position, and these are either phosphatized or preserved in darker material than the rest of…”
• Soft-tissue Preservation in Miocene Frogs from Libros, Spain: Insights into the Genesis of Decay Microenvironments (2009, background): “Specific tissues can be selectively preserved in fossils: phosphatization of soft tissues can be restricted to the mid-gut glands (Butterfield, 2002) and high-fidelity organic preservation, to bone marrow (McNamara et al., 2006).”
• Predation in the marine fossil record: Studies, data, recognition, environmental factors, and behavior (2019, background): “Other evidence of predation in fossil assemblages can also be used to identify the predator, including comparative anatomy (Butterfield, 2002) and organismal associations (Brandt et al., 1995; Jensen, 1990; Schwimmer et al., 1997).”
• Morphology of Anomalocaris canadensis from the Burgess Shale (2014, background): “Other Burgess Shale arthropods, such as Leanchoilia, Odaraia, Canadaspis, Perspicaris, and Sidneyia, preserve midgut glands in a similar location on the body (Butterfield, 2002).”
• Palaeoecology of the Early Cambrian Sinsk biota from the Siberian Platform (2005, background): “In such a case, the phosphatic nodules could originate from highly chemically reactive organic matter rich in phosphate (Briggs and Whittington, 1985; Butterfield, 2002).”
