GLOBAL WEATHERING PROJECT
In 2014 within the Taphonomy Working Group meeting at the ICAZ in Argentina, it was planned to launch, among the worldwide taphonomist colleagues, a Global Weathering Project focused on how weathering affected macromammal bones in different climates and environments all over the world. This initiative is led by Yolanda Fernandez Jalvo (MNCS, Madrid), Alexander H Parkinson (University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa) and Peter Andrews (NHM, London). Following their extensive research on this topic, they set up the protocols of these worldwide experiment.
Here we include you all the information about why it was decided to undertake this project ( Why Global Weathering) and which are the protocols to follow if you want to participate. Any colleague from any country and region can take part in this global study, therefore it is important that all of us follow the same procedures in order the results can be compare objectively later on.
