Summary

We are delighted to announce that the Taphos’20 meeting with the 6th Taphonomy Working Group ICAZ conference, which had to be postponed due to the continuous COVID pandemic episodes, will finally take place together in a joint meeting in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) from 5th to 12th of June 2022.

Abstracts for your poster/oral presentations can be sent until the 20th of March, 2022. These short abstracts (400-500 words depending on whether or not it includes a figure or a table) will be published in the Journal of Taphonomy. We are negotiating with a couple of indexed journals to publish the extended articles.

It is an extraordinary occasion, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Taphonomy and Fossilization (TaFos). In 1990, the first edition was devised by Sixto Fernández López at the CSIC (Madrid). During the first Taphos, the masterpiece “Owls, Caves and Fossils” by P. Andrews was presented, and since then, this book has been a reference for any research dealing with small mammal taphonomy. This TAPHOS meeting will be dedicated to these two outstanding specialists in Taphonomy. Besides, we will be honoured to have Dr A.K. Behrensmeyer giving the opening session conference.
