1. From production to final burial - pt. 2
(Taphonomy/Shell transport)

The Padan foredeep and satellite basins in Northwestern extensions of the Adriatic Sea are another place to study the outcomes of shell transport. Successions are much younger here and the best shel

...es, 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...

3. Back to the Basin
(Paleontological sites/Paleogene Europe)

Reference sections for the Paleogene are for the most part located in the Paris Basin (Gely & Lorenz 1991), but much of what could be seen back in the days is no longer visible, due to intense c

...a good testground for theories on shell bed formation during cycles of sea level change. In the Valdelsa basin, laterally-continuous shell beds form diagnostic surfaces useful for the interpretation ...
