Experimental investigation of insect deposition in lentic environments and implications for formation of Konservat Lagerstätten

Abstract: Terrestrial insects are often remarkably well preserved in lacustrine Konservat Lagerstätten. However, the assumption that carcasses should sink fast through the water column seems contradictory as this scenario is unlikely due to excessive buoyancy and surface tension. The mechanisms that promote rapid and permanent emplacement onto the sediment surface (RPESS) of such terrestrial animal remains are not fully understood. Here we use taphonomic experiments to show that floating in water, growth of microbial bi… Show more

“…For those preserved in lacustrine deposits, diagenesis seems to stand out as the most relevant stage. More and more palaeoentomologists have invested in taphonomic investigations, and most of these studies focus on biostratinomic events and/or early-middle diagenetic processes (Duncan & Briggs, 1996;Zhehikhin, 2002;Martínez-Delclòs et al 2004;Smith et al 2006;Smith & Moe-Hoffman, 2007;McNamara et al 2011McNamara et al , 2012Smith, 2012;Thoene-Henning et al 2012;Wang et al 2012;McNamara, 2013;Pan et al 2014;Greenwalt et al 2015;Anderson & Smith, 2017;Tian et al 2020;Iniesto et al 2021;Heingård et al 2022).…”
