Talk:Thanatocoenosis

Should be taphocoenosis, not thanatocoenosis.

Well, if you look up taphocoenosis in either the Glossary of Geology or the Dictionary of Science and Technical Terms , the entries in both references refer you to the entry for thanatocoenosis; so the terms must be equivalent, even though the Greek roots mean something a little different for each. 50.207.132.14 (talk) 06:14, 30 June 2017 (UTC)Eric Koenig, ABQ, NM USA

The information I added was basically just helping to flesh out the term further and add a little more background to other related terms (like biocoenosis, etc.). I also included a little about how taphonomic processes and things of the like can be used to aid research into fossil records. The photo I added was mainly to give a little more context into what a fossil assemblage and how it can relate to a death assemblage/thanatocoenosis. Internal links to related Wikipedia pages were also attached to new key terms.

I also added a history section just to fill out the term a little more, although I wasn't able to add all that much. The two main researchers I mentioned (Wasmund and Böger) were extremely hard to find any information on, so that section could use some additions in the future. The content I added based on their contributions (and arguments about the congruity of certain terms) was done so to try and provide a little more context for how the term came about and how it is sometimes used in scientific literature.

Lastly, I added more references to cite the content I added into the article. Hopefully all additions made are correct and informative enough to add value to the pre-existing information already there. Maeormel (talk) 13:53, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
