176 T156. Laws of the Grave: Advances in Taphonomy Across the Paleontologic Record


Session Chairs:
Broc Kokesh, Rachel Laker

This session emphasizes the interdisciplinary and ubiquitous nature of taphonomy for analysis of the fossil record. We welcome submissions focused on understanding taphonomic processes or its impacts across any paleontologic subdiscipline, taxon, or geologic era.
