We assessed time-averaging in Holoceneassemblages of calcitic brachiopod shells by direct dating ofindividual specimens of the terebratulid brachiopod Bouchardiarosea. The data were collected from exceptional (brachiopod-rich)shell assemblages, occurring surficially on a tropical mixedcarbonate-siliciclastic shelf (the Southeast Brazilian Bight, SWAtlantic), a setting that provides a good climatic andenvironmental analog for many Paleozoic brachiopod shell beds ofNorth America and Europe. A total of 82 individual brachiopodshells, collected from four shallow (5-25 m) nearshore (}, issn = {0094-8373, 0094-8373}, doi = {10.1043/0094-8373(2003)029(0381:QEOTIT)2.0.CO;2}, author = {Carroll, M. and Kowalewski, M. and Simoes, M.
