Abstract
The rarefaction graphs and trophic nuclei of dead molluscan shell cumulates and their associated live molluscan fauna from seven ‘ecological’ habitats in the Essex Chenier Plain facies are examined and compared. The results show that while the trophic nuclei of the live and dead faunas tend to be dissimilar, the rarefaction graphs indicate that the dead fauna will be more diverse than the live, though changes in the diversity of the live fauna tend to be mirrored in the dead fauna.
