Shelfal successions in collisional settings can be the site of quick burial of shelly remains, though with some lateral displacement from the original habitats (Dominici & Zuschin 2005). Paleogene strata in the Spanish Pyrenees, well-known to biostratigraphers and sedimentary geologists, bear witness of this. In the Tremp-Graus Basin, strata can be actually walked on from the sites where ancient benthic organisms lived to where they finally got buried.
