What abrasion there is may have developed after deposition rather than during transport (see below). This suggests that many of the fossils reached the vicinity of 'E' Quarry still protected by soft tissue, perhaps even as floating carcasses, and that disarticulation and dispersal of skeletal elements took place locally. The bed 3aN Agriotherium specimens were recovered from deposits laid down in three distinct micro-environments. Those deposits exposed in the.
