Preliminary results of a taphonomic study of a vertebrate accumulation from the Tetori Group (Lower Cretaceous) of Japan

抄録

A predominantly microvertebrate assemblage from the Tetori Group (Lower Cretaceous) of central Honshu is described. The fauna consists of many hundreds of vertebrate fossils which represent a diverse terrestrial/non-marine fauna. Taxa present include fish, reptiles, amphibians and birds. The preservation of the fossils is generally good, although there are few articulated and associated remains.
