Since it is not likely that all the fossils in a given area of limestone would all get washed into the delta it would be possible to investigate the area upriver{since I am sure the possibility of displacement by such would not escape a professional} and locate correlating fossil remains that also show limestone deposits or some other such clue.It is likely to be a mystery initially however that is the purpose of careful field work to log location and enviroment in relation to changing geology.
Would this be probable?
