Taphonomy

   ( 16 )
Taphonomy is the study of the post-mortem history of organic remains. Taphonomic processes can be constructive (as in those processes that lead to fossilization), or more commonly destructive. Understanding taphonomy is essential to the proper interpretation of fossil deposits.
