An in-depth look at the latest breakthroughs in our understanding of the material record that deep time leaves behind. Understanding the complex interplay of physical and chemical processes leading to fossilization is crucial to elucidating the 3800 million years of life on earth. And yet, the process of fossilization also leads to the loss of pivotal biological information, placing constraints on the very same understanding of ancient life it preserves. Over the last decade, however, remarkable advances in approaches, techniques, tools, and instrumentation have helped scientists to transcend these constraints by enabling high-resolution analysis of fossil material—even down to the nanoscale. Fossilization provides a critical look at these cutting-edge innovations in the science of fossil preservation and provides a road map for future research. Drawing from the fields of paleontology, organic and inorganic chemistry, microbiology, and high-resolution imaging and analysis, and spanning the diversity of life from plants to vertebrates and invertebrates, this resource details expert findings on • fossilization of hard and soft part tissues in dinosaurs • high-resolution chemical analysis of organic and inorganic tissues • arthropods preserved in amber • experimental silicification of wood • chemical defenses and color in fossil plants • confocal Raman spectroscopy • microprobe analysis • radioisotopic studies • and much more A true interdisciplinary undertaking, the book is authored by paleontologists, mineralogists, geochemists, organic chemists, microbiologists, and materials scientists who have worked together to investigate questions around substance fossilization and the limits of the fossil record. A special color section contains SEM, Raman, and other striking images of vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants. Fossilization is a trailblazing reference book for research scientists and specialists in related fields, as well as for advanced undergraduates and graduate students interested in fossilization, emerging research techniques, and fresh approaches in the analysis of plant and animal fossils.

This book is a systematic attempt to address the issue of fossilization in relation to a fundamental question in second language acquisition research, which is: why are learners, adults in particular, unable to develop the level of competence they have aspired to in spite of continuous and sustained exposure to the target language, adequate motivation to learn, and sufficient opportunity to practice?

Taphonomy is the study of the process whereby living organisms become fossils, and involves not only the organisms themselves but also their entire environment and the circumstances of their deposition and preservation. As such, it is of fundamental importance for palaeontologists, evolutionists, palaeoecologists and stratigraphers, and this book fulfils a long-felt want for an up-to-date review of taphonomic principles and methods, emphasizing sedimentological and palaeoenvironmental evidence, as well as that provided by fossil material itself. Following the model of his previous book on Mass Extinctions (Belhaven 1989), the editor has invited leading workers in the field to contribute review chapters which together comprise a comprehensive and authoritative conspectus of the field.

This volume, as a sequel to Fossilization in Adult Second Language Acquisition by Han (2004), brings together a collection of most recent theoretical and empirical studies on fossilization, a classic problem of second language acquisition. It covers a wide range of perspectives and issues. The analyses discussed herein address key concerns of many second language researchers and teachers with regard to just how far anyone can go in learning a new language.

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, University of Münster (Englisches Seminar), course: Psycholinguistics, language: English, abstract: Fossilization is commonly described in SLA literature as a “phenomenon of non-progression of learning despite continuous exposure to input, adequate motivation to learn, and sufficient opportunity for practice” (Han 13). The Question behind this notion is: Are adults able to ever acquire native-like competence in an L2? And if some learners are, what does this mean with respect to a majority of learners who seem not to be (cf. Han 13)? This bifurcation of possible outcomes in learning a second language is mirrored in the large variety of terms used to describe the concept of ‘fossilization’. Among others, it is described “as ‘virtual halt’, ‘linguistic monstrosities’, ‘plateau’, ‘rigor mortis’, ‘stopping short’, ‘fossilized variation’, ‘permanent optionality’, ‘siesta’ [and] ‘endstate’”(Han 13 - 14). Such a range of labels reveals differing conceptual ideas about the topic’s nature concerning its powers of spread within the learner’s interlanguage, its finitude, reoccurring continuation and inevitableness. The terms ‘linguistic monstrosities’ and ‘fossilized variation’ rather hint at only parts of the interlanguage being affected by fossilization as opposed to the notion of a completely ‘fossilized interlanguage’. The term ‘virtual halt’ supports this idea that while some aspects seem to be fossilized others might continue to develop. Whereas the terms ‘rigor mortis’ and ‘endstate’ convey an understanding of fossilization’s lethal and final everlastingness prohibiting any further linguistic development whatsoever, the terms ‘siesta’, ‘plateau’ and ‘permanent optionality’ ,on the other hand, consider the concept to be negotiable in some sense holding an option of resuming linguistic development. In this paper I will very briefly outline some of the major stopping points in the more than three-decade evolution of the concept ‘fossilization’ and illustrate key conceptional issues. Relating to these difficulties I will look at recent voices who express the need for more comprehensive empirical research and rethinking of hitherto approaches and convictions. In doing so, the focus will also be on fossilization in relation to second language instruction.
