Abstract
The Kimmeridge Clay Formation of the Dorset Coast is a classic example of a succession of mudstones, claystones and muddy limestones deposited in a range of dysaerobic or anoxic environments. The various models presently available draw on both macro and micro-palaeontological data but fail to present a convincing picture of what is undoubtedly a complex depositional setting. It is suggested here that only by considering the complete structure of the food chain will it be possible to resolve some of the difficulties.
