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)
