Report of bioerosions and cells in Cainotheriidae (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) from the phosphorites of Quercy (SW France)
Abstract The phosphorites of the Quercy from SouthWest France are well known for fossils preserved in 3D with phosphatized soft-tissues.Given that phosphatization is known to favor fine cellular preservation, the present study delves into the histological analysis of white and brown bones of Cainotheriidae (Artiodactyla) recently excavated from the
