Abstract:

All of the taphonomic and other factors involved in fossilization, exposure and collection of fossils affect the preservation state, the condition in which the fossils become available for collection. These factors also determine what should be done to, at the very least, at least maintain that preservation state, and ideally provide a stabilized specimen that can, if desired, be restored. Weathering of rocks and their contained fossils is always a combination of mechanical and chemical processes. The collection of fossils in the field, and later work in the laboratory, attempts to halt or slo

Abstract:

The preservation of paleontological heritage is relevant for paleobiological and geological research, as well as for scientific dissemination. Fossils are indicative of the evolutionary processes, biodiversity, ecology, and geography of the past and require specific geoconservation actions. In Italy, fossils are protected as cultural heritage, and their unauthorized collection and trading are counteracted by a regulatory framework. The local superintendence and law enforcement provide control over the territory, often resorting to the expertise of university paleontologists. In the Calabria re

Abstract:

COLLECTIONS OF invertebrate fossils are commonly maintained in museums, at universities, and by individual researchers and interested private collectors. Twenty years ago, the Committee on North American Resources in Invertebrate Paleontology (CONARIP) estimated that there more than 550 institutions housed invertebrate paleontological macro- and micro- fossil collections (Glenister, 1977). Historically, collections have been developed, managed and maintained by paleontologists as a resource for their research (e.g., museum curator or university faculty) (Hebda, 1985).

Abstract:

Removal or protection from biostratinomic agents of decomposition, such as predators and scavengers, is widely seen as a requirement for high-quality preservation of soft tissues in the fossil record. In this context, extremely rapid burial is an oft-cited mechanism for shielding remains from degradation, but not all fossils fit nicely into this paradigm. Dinosaurian mummies in particular seemingly require two mutually exclusive taphonomic processes to preserve under that framework: desiccation and rapid burial. Here we present a recently prepared Edmontosaurus mummy that reveals an alternate

Linking Beckett's often ignored early collection of short stories, More Pricks Than Kicks, to the abstract landscapes of the post-war fiction, allows us to trace an interest in unsettled places to a much earlier point in Beckett's work than is usually allowed. The interest in antiquities so prevalent in the early fiction emerges from a larger national conversation in Ireland about the preservation of the Gaelic past in

Abstract:

Ediacara-type fossils are found in a diverse array of preservational styles, implying that multiple taphonomic mechanisms might have been responsible for their preservational expression. For many Ediacara fossils, the “death mask” model has been invoked as the primary taphonomic pathway. The key to this preservational regime is the replication or sealing of sediments around the degrading organisms by microbially induced precipitation of authigenic pyrite, leading toward fossil preservation along bedding planes. Nama-style preservation, on the other hand, captures Ediacaran organisms as molds a

The establishment of modern Iran in 1925 accelerated a centralisation policy, which resulted in the oppression of Iran’s national and cultural diversity. Under such unfavourable conditions, Kurdish fiction had a stuttering start with only three works since the publication of the first Kurdish novel in 1961 up until 1991, when the number of Kurdish fictional works produced in Iran began to increase steadily. This article addresses the question of commitment and aesthetics in Kurdish prose fiction by examining a short story collection and three novels published between 1961 and 2002. Whereas the

The application of AI methods is increasingly fueling research in biodiversity. One of the objectives of the French national e-COL+ project is to enable collections to benefit from the innovative contributions of image recognition and text mining.The preceding e-ReColNat project aimed to centralize all the images and data from natural history collections on a single platform (Pérez and Pignal 2013). Despite this abundance of collection-related visual media, the options available for exploring them are currently limited to the usual metadata, such as the name of the species, or the place and da

Cultural identity and challenges of faith have constituted as well as created conflicts while reckoning with the forces of ethnic homogeneity for a stable society. A constant struggle to maintain faith in the light of religious doubt and formidable dangers of dislocation from one’s chosen place in a community problematizes an individual’s position while adjusting to the trends of progress. One such is being the Parsee community after their exodus in 7th century AD in the wake of Muslim onslaught. Often considered one of the most enterprising among minority communities, the Parsees

Yermak Timofeevich, the conqueror of Siberia, is a key figure of the Siberian frontier and a special “myth” about Siberia in Russian culture. The aim of the article is to find out the idea of Yermak that Siberian intellectual readers formed at the turn of the 20th century. The library of the eminent Tomsk teacher Gavriil Tyumentsev is a representative material for this study. During his life, Tyumentsev collected books and various materials about Siberia. The corpus of publications on Yermak belongs to the period from 1832 to 1897. The books are mainly issued by the capital’s publishing houses

The literature does not reflect any disagreement about the religion of the Early Iron Age being polytheistic and consequently concerned a variety of gods.

Ecdysozoans (Phyla Arthropoda, Kinorhyncha, Loricifera, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Onychophora, Priapulida, Tardigrada) are invertebrates bearing a tough, periodically moulted cuticle that predisposes them to exceptional preservation. Ecdysozoans dominate the oldest exceptionally preserved bilaterian animal biotas in the early to mid-Cambrian (c. 520–508 Ma), with possible trace fossils in the latest Ediacaran (<556 Ma). The fossil record of Ecdysozoa is among the best understood of major animal clades and is believed to document their origins and evolutionary history well. Strikingly, however

Despite this richness, most meteorites collected in Morocco are sold abroad and exported. The exportation of meteorites as well as other geoheritage samples such as fossils and minerals was not completely legal or illegal as there was no dedicated regulation.
