Abstract Recent technological advances have broadened the application of palaeoradiology for non-destructive investigation ancient remains. X-ray microtomography (microCT) in particular is increasingly used as an alternative to histological bone sections interpreting pathological alterations, trauma, microstructure, and, more recently, bioerosion with direct or ancillary use indices. However, n...

Bioerosions produced by the osteophagous diet of animals that fed on dinosaur bones are very scarce in European fossil record. Herein we present bioerosion hadrosaurid remains from Maastrichtian Tremp Formation Pyrenean Basin, which is only second such case recorded Iberian-Occitan Plate besides a sauropod Jurassic-Cretaceous Valencia. The record particularly rich Blasi sites located municipali...

The northern Adriatic continental shelf hosts several coralligenous reefs rising from the sedimentary bottom and characterized by three main benthic assemblages, respectively, dominated algal turfs, encrusting calcareous rhodophyte (ECRs) or erect sponges. Bioconstruction bioerosion processes have been investigated using recruitment travertine limestone tiles deployed in a random site for each ...
