When decoded, a fossil or an archaeological bone entails a series of natural processes of modification that perhaps decided the ‘destiny’ of a bone to transform into a fossil over the years of its residence into the sedimentary environment. Understanding these processes involved in the bone diagenesis is crucial to the reconstruction of ecological
