>> Good post. There's just one thing I'd like to add: what about predator traps like the La Brea Tar Pits? Hundreds and hundreds of skeletons, both total and partial, all well preserved by the tar. La Brea is one of the finest sites ever found for Recent mammals and birds. << Good point. There are a number, but too small of a number!, of special sites like that, lucky for us!
