Abstract

Brachiopods collected from siliceous mudstone facies, including Hushan, Majiashan, Rencunping, Xinmin, Duanshan, Shaiwa, Xiejiaping, Dengcaoba, Dongpan, Paibi and Liuqiao sections, are devoid of abrasional signs. In these sections, they occur sparsely on bedding surfaces and occasionally have articulated valves. These taphonomic features indicate that the brachiopods have been preserved mostly in situ, with little postmortem transportation and reworking.
