During this time, marine environments supported a wide range of bivalve mollusks, including clams that lived partially buried in soft seabed sediments while filtering nutrients from the surrounding water. The fossilization of these shells occurred when sediments rapidly buried the organism after death, allowing the calcium carbonate shell to be preserved within the rock over millions of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003eThe Jurassic deposits of the \u003cstrong data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"692\"\u003eNorthern Calcareous Alps near Kressenberg\u003c\/strong\u003e are known for preserving a variety of marine fossils, including bivalves, ammonites, and other invertebrates that inhabited these ancient seaways.
