Abstract

Consideration of the field occurrence of certain post-Palaeozoic brachioppds, and of published experimental work on the transport of brachiopod shells by water, leads to the conclusion that these fossils are often deceptive as evidence of former conditions at the places where they now occur fossil, due to shell-transport by marine currents after death.
