Ichthyolith
In this article, we will explore in detail Ichthyolith, a topic of great relevance in contemporary society. Ichthyolith has captured the attention of numerous experts and academics due to its significant impact on various aspects of daily life. Through meticulous analysis and the collection of empirical evidence, we will seek to shed light on the different nuances and facets that characterize Ichthyolith, in order to provide a comprehensive and enriching vision on this topic. In addition, the practical and theoretical implications of Ichthyolith will be examined, in order to promote a deeper and more detailed understanding of its importance in the current landscape.
An ichthyolith (from Ancient Greek ἰχθύς (ikhthús), meaning "fish", and λίθος (líthos), meaning "stone") is any disarticulated remains of a fish found in the fossil record, most often a scale, denticle or tooth. Ichthyoliths are found in nearly all marine sediment.[1]
The term was coined by Doyle, Kennedy and Riedel[2] (1974) to denote 'fish skeletal debris'.
The term 'stratignathy',[2] proposed in the same paper for the time relationships of ichthyoliths, did not gain currency.
