Taphonomy of ammonites from the Santonian-lower Campanian Santa Marta Formation, Antarctica: sedimentological controls on vertically embedded ammonites
Different morphotypes of vertically embedded ammonoid shells are abundant in the 1-km-thick deposits of the Santa Marta Formation, Antarctica, that record the evolution of a deep-water delta system. Vertical shells deposited in water depths well below the theoretical limit imposed by hydrodynamic an...
