I just put a new web page up on some burrows I found when I visited the
Orkney Islands 2 weeks ago. Some time ago Allen Roy and I had discussed the
Haymond Fm. and the 15000 layers of burrows there. Allen had said that they
were escape features. That explanation won't work at the Orkneys, which
also have tens of thousands of sedimentary layers with burrows. In this case
the burrows are horizontal and thus the animals are not trying to escape
anything. So the question for Allen is, "Why didn't all the burrowers die in
the first layer?" These guys were not escaping anywhere with horizontal
burrows.
