Figure 27. The effects of bioturbation on cross-sectional bonebed geometry.

Figure 27

(A) Erosion winnows coarse, dense material and bioclasts onto an erosional surface. (B) A return to positive sedimentation results in burial of the lag concentration. (C) Subsequent bioturbation by burrowing organisms and other infauna erase the erosional surface and transpose bioclasts. (D) The resulting concentration may be misinterpreted as a hiatal bonebed.
