FIGURE 8. A: Ex situ preservation (aided by wind action) of Dotilla pellets as pellet-filled burrow tubes in the supratidal flat during low tide situation. B: Ex situ preservation of Dotilla pellets (aided by wind action) in ripple troughs during low tide situation. C: Schematic profile section of the studied beach showing positions of the Dotilla pellet spread and burrow zone, spread of Ocypode burrows, mutual dispositions of different geomorphic units (dune, supratidal, upper - middle intertidal flats) relative to land - sea positions and High and Low Tide Levels (HTL and LTL). Note gradual spreading of the Dotilla pellet and burrow zone towards sea with gradual lowering of substrate water levels (WLs) during tidal recession of sea. D-E: Possible stratigraphic development of the coastal sedimentary units (1-3) and contained burrow zones and other associated features in transgressive (E) and regressive (D) situations. Note the possible position of preserved Dotilla pellets and burrows between Unit 1 and 2 under transgressiveregressive sea conditions. Features are schematic and not to scale.
