Are those dugongids known from the same depth range as Paleoparadoxia?

Maybe it wasn't purely herbivorous? Maybe they crushed shells of mollusks too at those depths. It makes sense then for the animal to go to such depths because most mollusks stick to the bottom. So along with kelp, it could have ate other things.
I doubt that, it doesn't seem to have molars required to deal with crushing shells.
