In the past 60 years, taphonomy has come into its own, growing from a little known subdiscipline of paleontology to a fully-fledged discipline, with full-time practitioners.
The multitude of current researchers in taphonomy specialize in its application in studies concerned with widely divergent geological time periods and in a variety of fields -from paleontology, geology, archaeology, paleobotany, paleoecology, paleoentomology and even forensics. Some taphonomists focus strictly on the study of biostratinomic processes, while others concentrate on processes that occur in the diagenetic phase. Much work centers around the actualistic study of modern processes by observation and simulation, and its application to problems encountered in the fossil record.

Seems to me, Baez wants to match the prosecution with the results from the Tennessee Lab introducing this technology. He wants to make record statements, IMO just as he states he will motion the JAC's Chapter 119 unconstitutional as it pertains to Inmate Anthony, he wants to rewrite the rules of JAC as they are written...:innocent:
Seems this technology is a botonist, entomologist, anthropoligist, archeologist, etc....all rolled into one expert! I don't believe this "expert" will fly or hold up to a "Rogers" Hearing on it..JMHO
