The earthworm might be the archetypal example of a deposit feeder, as it consumes large quantities of soil and plays an integral part of breaking down dead plant matter into. .

g. . Scaphopods are selective deposit feeders, mainly feeding on microscopic organisms, particularly diatoms and foraminiferans.

A classic example of a deposit feeder is the lugworm Arenicola marina, a dominant of northern European and North American sand and mudflats, which lives head down, ingesting sediment below the sediment–water interface within a temporary feeding pocket and defecating coils of sediment-rich feces on the seabed surface. Scaphopods are selective deposit feeders, mainly feeding on microscopic organisms, particularly diatoms and foraminiferans.
