Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | original aragonite |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |

Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | bulk,surface (in situ),field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
| Collection method comments: JA: the three collections together came from "twenty-one quadrats" each of "0.5-m2... separated into 50-decimeter2 areas... organized as 10 rows and 5 columns": because area and not volume measures are reported, the samples are apparently surface in situ and not screened | |
