Taphonomy is the study of what happens to the remains of an organism from its death to its discovery as a fossil: decay, scavenging, transport, burial, and the chemical changes of diagenesis. The preservation potential of an organism, or of one of its parts, is the probability that it passes through these stages and survives in the rock.
