“…According to Brett et al (1997), echinoids can be transported still articulated in few hours after their death. Fragments in these coquinas indicate the influence of mixed taphonomic processes, related to energy events that would have carried remains of fossil from other areas and incorporated them into the bottom sediment for longer periods (Speyer & Brett 1991, Reid et al 2015. Therefore, part of the fauna preserved in these coquinas would have represented para-autochthonous and or allochthonous individuals.…”

“…The initial discovery of the Karbonaatjies bed occurred during a preliminary study in 2014, when collected samples revealed rare, well-preserved individuals of an undescribed taxon of ophiuroid and stylophorans [22]. The study area is located within the Cape Fold Belt, and the exposed rocks lithostratigraphically belong to the Lower Devonian (Emsian ∼400 Ma) Voorstehoek Formation, Bokkeveld Group in South Africa [23].…”
