Fig. 6 in Post-collection taphonomy, sampling effects and the role of the collector in palaeontological collections: A case study from an early Late Triassic bone accumulation in southernmost Brazil

Fig. 6. Selected specimens from the three collections showing effects of sullegic (i.e., during sampling activity), trephic (i.e., from transport to preparation and storage) and "taxonomical" factors. A and B show two mandibles of traversodontid cynodonts, of which previously just two out of ten fragments were considered as such, while the rest as indeterminate fragments. In C, several specimens from a single original association, numbered separately, and now together again, still being able to provide taphonomic information. Some of them (e.g., rib fragments) had been associated with similar others and analyzed with systematic interest, losing the taphonomic information. D shows two parts of the same bone (D1, MCP-PV 4017; D2, MCP-PV 4028), a right femur, encountered already separated and isolated, and catalogued as two different specimens, part in D2 being identified as an indeterminate fragment.
