Zusammenfassung
Paleohistology of fossil mammal bones belonging to Somosaguas site is very well preserved. In this work we describe bone microestructures such us laminar bone ( osteones, lamelae) and non laminar bone, till the celular level. Two kinds of alterations may affect the bone, one of them generated by saprophyt organisms during biostratinomic stages, an the other of unknown origin. This give us a source of new information about paleobiology and taphonomy of fossil mammals.
