Both before and after burial, a different set of physical, chemical and biological agencies may produce modifications of the bone morphological structure and/or bone chemical composition. Several of these morphological modifications are diagnostic of particular agents, which otherwise may not be noticed or identified in a fossil association. In order to understand diagenesis, those events that occurred before final burial have to be considered, as they may strongly modify the bone morphological structure and influence post-burial changes.engMorphological taphonomic transformations of fossil bones in continental environments, and repercussions of their chemical compositionjournal articlehttp://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1475-4754open access56TaphonomySurface Bone modificationsDiagenesisChemical compositionPre-BurialPost-BurialPaleontología2416 Paleontología
