Bivalve Taphonomy

Bivalve Taphonomy is the subdiscipline of paleontological science that studies the processes affecting bivalve shells from the time of death to and including fossilization, distinguishing itself by focusing specifically on the postmortem alteration, transport, burial, and preservation of bivalve remains within sedimentary environments.
