Taphofacies Models of devonian in Longmenshan Area, Sichuan, China

摘要

Taphonomy refers primarily to the study of processes between death and final burial of an or- ganism or a group of organisms, including both taphonomic loss and taphonomic gain. Taphofacies refers to the taphonomic traits, which include the taphomic attributes of all fossils and the litho- logic features of their enclosing rocks. Taphofacies is different from lithofacies; as a taphonomic environmenal setting or taphonomic condition, it is more useful than the stratigraphic body of rock.
