paleonet "shallow marine environment"

[Dee Ann Cooper <deeanncooper@xxxxxxxxx>]

my husband and i are working on a paper concerning an
extremely fossil-rich isochronous layer in a marine
carbonate.  the further into it we get, the more we
debate how "shallow" shallow is.  is there is an exact
definition of "shallow" or a "rule-of-thumb"
definition of "shallow".  all of our "critters" seem
to fall into the "shallow marine" category and i think
we have some evidence of terrigenous input as well
(i.e. kaolinite).
