through a few meters of mud?
The assumptions on getting an anoxic burial require that the mixing mechanisms not apply. Things like a near shore swamp with a barrier island chain that blocks all but the largest disruptions.
You would end up with a layer of organics, that were then buried by a layer of debris from a large storm, then a layer of organics, and so on.
