Overview

Systematic taphonomic study reveals insights into fossil preservation in Pleistocene cave assemblages, suggesting ecological connections.

Key Points

  • To systematically analyze the fossil deposits at Tham Khao Phak Kut cave for taphonomic insights.
  • Conducted taphonomic analysis of cave deposits
  • Identify and categorize fossil-bearing loci TKPK 1 and TKPK 2
  • Investigated the taphonomic pathways of the accumulated fossils
  • Identified diverse Pleistocene vertebrate assemblages including chiropterans and primates
  • Inferred two primary taphonomic pathways for fossil accumulation
  • Reported the first record of orangutan fossils in Peninsular Thailand
