In the Wikipedia article on taphonomy, the concept is said to have been introduced by Efremov in 1949, with a reference to R Lee Lyman's article from 2010. Lyman's article does, indeed, give the year as 1949, but the second reference in the Wikipedia article links to Professor Efremov's article Taphonomy: new branch of paleontology in the September 1940 issue of Pan-American Geologist (http://www.astro.spbu.ru:80/staff/serg/interests/literature/efremov/tapharticle1.html).

I suggest that reference 1 to Lyman's article be removed and replaced by reference 2 linking to Professor Efremov's own article and that the year given for the introduction of this term be corrected to 1940....
