A shellabration of early life : exploring the taphonomy, diversity, and distribution of small shelly fossils surrounding archaeocyathid reef systems in the Harkless System, Death Valley, NV
Cambrian archaeocyathid reef systems represent the earliest metazoan-dominated topographically complex bioconstructions in the rock record and provide valuable insights into community composition with respect to the major framework builders and their small shelly fossil (SSF) inhabitants. This …
