Mass mortality horizons within the fish beds are associated with bundles of dolomitic laminae. Articulation of preserved carcasses of\n            <jats:italic>Osteolepis<\/jats:italic>\n            is best in the central parts of the beds, deposited in low energy conditions in the deepest lake phase. A preferred orientation of carcasses between 150\u00b0 and 180\u00b0 is ascribed to weak currents caused by seiches or lake overturn. The similarity of the fish beds at the two localities is such that they are probably lateral equivalents.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1144\/sjg30020175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,15]],"date-time":"2010-01-15T00:30:59Z","timestamp":1263515459000},"page":"175-181","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1144\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Taphonomy of fish beds from the Upper Flagstone Group of the Middle Old Red Sandstone, Caithness"],"prefix":"10.1144","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"R.
