AB The aim of this paper is to provide a summary of structural or surface modifications ofvertebrate bone remains in continental palaeoenvironments that may have repercussions ontheir chemical composition. Both before and after burial, a different set of physical, chemicaland biological agencies may produce modifications of the bone morphological structureand/or bone chemical composition. Several of these morphological modifications are diagnosticof particular agents, which otherwise may not be noticed or identified in a fossilassociation. In order to understand diagenesis, those events that occurred before final burialhave to be considered, as they may strongly modify the bone morphological structure andinfluence post-burial changes.
