Taphos 2025 represents the 10th International Meeting on Taphonomy and continues the tradition of taphonomic meetings that have been regularly held in Spain since 1990 (Madrid 1990, Zaragoza 1995, Valencia 2002, Barcelona 2005, Granada 2008), and then in Tübingen (2011), Ferrara (2014), Vienna (2017), and Madrid (2022). The aims of the Taphos meetings have been to integrate all aspects of current taphonomic research from both palaeontological and archaeological context: biostratinomy, taphonomy in archaeology and anthropology, taphonomy in the analysis of patterns of evolution and extinction, taphonomy in biostratigraphy, theory of taphonomy, taphonomy in palaeoecology and sedimentology, Fossil-Lagerstätten (exceptional preservations), taphosystems, historical ecology, conservation palaeobiology, and mudlarking taphonomy.
Taphos 2025 will be held in Ferrara (Italy) on 17th-19th June 2025. Two days are dedicated to the scientific sessions and one day to the field trip
