Abstract
⺠Three Miocene sand dollar assemblages of Sardinia were analyzed in detail. ⺠A low taxonomic diversity with prevalence of Amphiope and Parascutella was recorded. ⺠Age spectrum, taphonomic signatures and sedimentary fabric widely differ. ⺠Three different genetic mechanisms in the shoreface environment can be inferred. ⺠Multiple in situ reworking, storm deposition and autochthonous accumulation occurred.
