Thomas A. Hegna, Ph.D<p>The underlying assumption in these scenarios is that resin will solidify when it hits water--much like lava. Lava is a poor analog for resin. Resin can, in fact, seep from submerged roots in a swamp, and remain sticky. This has been documented in modern swamps.<br><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/taphonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>taphonomy</span></a> <br>3/6</p>
Dr Geoff M Smith 🇬🇧🇪🇺<p>I am back @MPI_EVA_Leipzig as part of my @MSCActions project BACBONE. I will be using the micro-CT scanner to scan Pleistocene bone and investigate the effect of taphonomic agents (carnivores, burning, bacterial) on bone inner structure. <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/Palaeolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Palaeolithic</span></a> <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/taphonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>taphonomy</span></a></p>
Dr Geoff M Smith 🇬🇧🇪🇺<p>This looks like a very detailed and interesting study. Fish <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/taphonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>taphonomy</span></a> is not something I know much about. Looking forward to diving in (groan) but this study might definitely makes waves (groan)...I'll leave now. Looks v. thought provoking. <br>---<br>RT @MarionPrev<br>🚨🔥🐟<br>The paper is out!
