Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Subfossil refers to remains whose fossilization process is not complete, either for lack of time or because the conditions in which they were buried were not optimal for fossilization. Subfossil remains that date from the Mesozoic are exceptionally rare, usually in an advanced state of decay and consequently much disputed add refs on supposed dinosaur DNA from dino article . The vast bulk of the material comes from Quaternary deposits. The main importance of subfossil vs. fossil remains is that the former contain organic material, which can be used for radiocarbon dating or extraction and sequencing of DNA sequencing DNA , protein sequencing protein , or other biomolecules. Additionally, isotope ratios can provide much information about the ecological conditions under which extinct animals lived. Subfossils are often found in depositionary environments, such as lake sediments, oceanic sediments, and soils. Once deposited, physical and chemical weathering can alter the state of preservation. Small subfossils can be ingested by living organisms . Common subfossils found in Quaternary sediments include chironomid head capsules, ostracod carapace s, diatoms , and foraminifera . Subfossils are useful for studying the evolutionary history of an environment and can be important to studies in paleoclimatology .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Prehistory Prehistoric birds are considered any species of the Aves , and some possible close relatives of more uncertain status, that have become extinct before being recorded by modern sources. They are known from fossil and subfossil remains only, and in a few cases may be remembered in folk memory . Such birds are here presented in 2 articles, separated according to the rough date of extinction and the possibility of human influence in their extinction Fossil birds deals with birds from pre human prehistory, from the earliest Archaeopterygiformes Proto birds to the ancestors of modern species. Famous examples are Archaeopteryx , Confuciusornis , Hesperornis , the terror bird s , Osteodontornis , and Argentavis . Late Quaternary prehistoric birds are birds which have gone extinct in the last 30 10,000 years or so, and in most cases human activity is at least complicit in their disappearance. Some are known from native tales, others are tentatively suggested to have lasted into the age of written history . These include, for example, a species of Genyornis mihirung , the moa and Haast s Eagle , and Merriam s Teratorn .
