Just sending this around again, less than a week left for abstract submissions to IBC2024! We would love to have some palaeotalks too! #fossilfriday
Figure from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/pala.12627 showing a diagram representing the taphonomic model proposed for Weichselia reticulata based on fragmentary material of the plant in different localities. Three possible scenarios are shown: (1) fire events burn foliage, which is transported to the depositional sites by runoff water or wind, and preserved as charred compressions; (2) plant debris on the forest floor is transported to the depositional areas by runoff water or wind, and preserved as impressions or iron-oxide coated specimens; (3) storms break off large fragments of fronds that are transported to the depositional sites by strong winds or runoff water during the storm, and are mainly preserved as impressions.Photograph of an accumulation of fossilized charred fern pinnules

The deadline for abstract submission for #IBC2024 in #Madrid is coming up, November 30! If you haven't decided what symposium to submit your talk to, have a look at ours: ibcmadrid2024.com/index.php?se... We will be discussing ecology and evolution and would love + #paleo perspectives!🌱
