[edit] Preservation?

Would it be appropriate to have an in depth discussion of preservation here? I think so; there doesn't seem to be one on wikipedia and its definitely covered within taphonomy. || instantn00dle 12:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Study or process

Taphonomy is a new word for me. Found it in evolutionary history of plants. There it seems to be the process of fossilization. Here it is defined as the study of decaying and fossilization. Could it be that the process in itself is included in the concept, not only the study of it? --Ettrig (talk) 11:42, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Greek

As far as I know, τάφος means grave, and not burial. But maybe my Greek is too weak. We must seek a geek with a more solid technique... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stm76 (talkcontribs) 17:22, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
