In regard to whether things found together necessarily lived and died together, paleontologists can inspect fossils for damage due to ‘reworking’ for clues that the organisms did not necessarily live or die together.  However, the ‘reworked’ or ‘stratigraphic leak’ (where something ‘young’ is found in ‘old’ rock) explanation is almost invariably invoked for ‘out-of-place’ fossils.<ref>{{hnb|Batten et. al., 2007|p=192,193}}.  That quote's footnote's are:<blockquote><small>7.

* The discovery of a mechanism that would prevent the mutations necessary for evolution from occurring or accumulating

: However, we already know that mutations accumulate, and this proposed falsification fails to distinguish between evolution and competing views such as creation, so is rather pointless as a falsification.
