The lagerstätte of Holzmaden is famous for its high degree of preservation. Every so often entire Ichtyosaurs, Plesiosaurs, Pterosaurs and Marine Crocodiles are found among literal millions of Dactylioceras ammonites. It is reckoned that a low degree of circulation caused anoxia at the bottom of the sea, which prevented scavengers from destroying the carcasses of deceased animals.
