“The book is successful in bringing out the present status of actualistic taphonomic research in South America. … Actualistic Taphonomy in South America represents a really good book worth reading by anyone interested in taphonomy, paleontology, ecology, or archaeology of South America. I feel that it will serve as a primary reference for new researchers working on the taphonomic record of South American flora and fauna for years to come.” (Devapriya Chattopadhyay, Ameghiniana, Vol. 58 (1), 2021)
