To experimentally mimic the fossilization process, taphonomists have undertaken what they call maturation experiments. Three scientists decided on what they called a ‘novel’ approach. Current surface processes of erosion and deposition of sediments cannot explain the billions of fossils found globally. What was needed was a flood of unprecedented magnitude, capable of providing vast quantities of sediment over a short time period.
