International Plant Taphonomy Meeting - Informal workshops focusing on recent developments in the science of plant taphonomy. Meeting information and abstracts.
Journal of Taphonomy - The aim of the Journal of Taphonomy is to facilitate the academic spread of information that is basic to the interpretation of past systems of biotic interaction. Provides submission and subscription information.
Plant Fossils and Their Preservation - Includes a section of conditions required for plant fossil preservation, the various levels of preservation, and types of fossils.
Shelf and Slope Experimental Taphonomy Initiative - SSETI is an undersea research program which aims to use controlled experiments to measure modern processes of decay, alteration, and burial in order to better understand taphonomic processes.
Taphonomy - Information from Wikipedia on the study of decaying organisms over long periods of time. This process involves the transition of organisms from the biosphere to the lithosphere as they become fossilized.
Taphonomy - A brief introduction from Deciphering Earth History: A Laboratory Manual.
Taphonomy and Preservation - Comprehensive tutorial on taphonomy and preservation from the State University of New York at Cortland.
Taphonomy: The Study of Preservation - Provides an explanation of what preservation means in relation to paleontology and the deductions that can be made from examining fossils.
Taphos 2002 - Program of the 2002 International Conference on Taphonomy and Fossilization.
