===state of fossil preservation===
The preservation of the whale fossils is amazing. Of the hundreds of whale fossils, 145 are complete fossils. There are no signs of normal decay features that one would expect from sea floor decay(wormholes, barnacle encrustations). As a result, Brand et al claim that this site is clearly an example of rapid burial.
Also in support of rapid burial in the fact that the amount of whale facing up and the amount facing down are about equal. This shows a picture of a highly chaotic environment.[http://origins.swau.edu/who/chadwick/raul.pdf]
