Visual depiction of the palaeoenvironment of Voulteryon parvulus: Voulteryon parvulus lived probably in a shallow-water, well-illuminated environment, perhaps in crevices (1), explaining the presence of its epibionts and perhaps used to mate or lay its eggs in the La Voulte Lagerstätte (2). Note that due to the presence of numerous faults, the palaeotopography of the vicinity of the La Voulte Lagerstätte was quite accidented. Therefore, Voulteryon parvulus did not have to move over great distances to reach deeper waters. Similarly, Dollocaris ingens could as well move or be transported in La Voulte deposition environment from a nearby shallower palaeoenvironment.
