The ashfall beds were caused when a volcano erupted and covered the landscape with ashes. This caused a massive number of animals to die because they inhaled the ash and it coated their respiratory system and suffocated them. Then, the ashes covered their bodies and protected them from being scattered and decomposing over the millions of years.
