The Taphonomy is regarded as a branch of Palaeontology, this latter being sometimes regarded as belonging to the Life Sciences.
Taphonomy is also applying the methods of other branches of the Earth and the Life Sciences, i.e., palaeoecology, ecology, sedimentology, palaeobiology, biology.
However, one should not confuse the specificity of Taphonomy with topics belonging to those other disciplines. Such a tendency appears rather common when the definition of the Taphonomy is not taken into account.
