Question
- how can rapid sedimentation events contribute to the quality and quantity of fossils found?
Brief Explanations
Rapid sedimentation quickly buries organisms. This reduces decay from oxygen and scavengers. More organisms are preserved (quantity). Fine - grained sediments in rapid sedimentation can preserve details (quality).
