Times of changes, the latest Pleistocene micromammal association of the Salto de Piedra site (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina)
The results of the taxonomic, taphonomic, and paleoecological analyses of Late Pleistocene micromammals from the Salto de Piedra paleontological locality are presented in this paper. Our results support the conclusion that the microfaunal remains were mainly accumulated by diurnal raptors in areas close to where the remains were deposited, as there is no evidence of transport. Taxonomically, the recovered micromammals include rodents currently in…
What do we know about tooth weathering? A neotaphonomic study on mammals from the Argentine Pampas
Freshwater invertebrate assemblages and environmental changes in the Late Pleistocene-Holocene of Salto de Piedra site (central Pampean Region, Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Salto de Piedra is a paleontological site located in the Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) close to Olavarría City at the upper basin of Tapalqué Creek. This site provides new insights about the late Quaternary climatic evolution of the area. The taxonomic and taphonomic analyses of freshwater gastropods from this period allow us to evaluate the magnitude of environmental changes in the area. Paleoclimatic inferences at the top of the sequence (L…
The Taphonomy of Senèze
Summary and Conclusions of the Senèze Research Project
Understanding the Impact of Trampling on Rodent Bones
Experiments based on the premise of uniformitarism are an effective tool to establish patterns of taphonomic processes acting either before, or after, burial. One process that has been extensively investigated experimentally is the impact of trampling to large mammal bones. Since trampling marks caused by sedimentary friction strongly mimic cut marks made by humans using stone tools during butchery, distinguishing the origin of such modifications…
Contribution of small mammal taphonomy to the last Neanderthal occupations at the El Salt site (Alcoi, southeastern Spain)
The El Salt site (Alcoi, Alicante, Spain) is one of the latest Neanderthal sites in the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula. The disappearance of this human group is controversial and needs detailed studies from different research areas. Taphonomy is essential to establish how representative is a fossil assemblage of the past living organisms that produced it and to interpret the formation process of the fossil site. In the case of El Salt, we have a…
The owl that never left! Taphonomy of Earlier Stone Age small mammal assemblages from Wonderwerk Cave (South Africa)
Wonderwerk Cave, in South Africa, is an exceptional site that has yielded a large collection of small mammal fossils in a stratigraphic sequence reaching back ca. 2 million years. Taphonomic studies undertaken to date, show that Tytonidae (likely Tyto alba) was the dominant predator during the Earlier Stone Age. They produced masses of pellets that formed a dense carpet-like surface that covered the cave floor at intervals throughout the sequence…
