POMI, Lucas H e TONNI, Eduardo P. Early use of taphonomic tools: Leonardo da Vinci and Florentino Ameghino. Ser. correl. geol. [online]. 2008, n.24, pp.55-62. ISSN 1666-9479.
We present a synthesis about the interpretation of the Biblical Deluge carried out by two important historic personages separated by four centuries: Leonardo da Vinci and Florentino Ameghino. These authors used in your interpretations tools that pertain to the modern Taphonomic Theory. Da Vinci, within the framework of the Renaissance, very far still of the basic development of earth sciences, studied the autochthony, transport and disarticulation of fossil shells from Monferrato (Italy). Ameghino, under a evolutionist and gradualist paradigms, analyzed the configuration of fossil assemblages from the "Pampean Formation". Both concluded that the analyzed evidence does not correspond with the description of a catastrophic event as the universal Biblical Deluge.
