The ichnogenus Thalassinoides: burrow fossil produced by crustaceans from the Middle Jurassic, HaMakhtesh HaKatan, southern Israel. An ichnotaxon (plural ichnotaxa) is "a taxon based on the fossilized work of an organism", i.e. the non-human equivalent of an artifact.
Dromopus is a reptilian ichnogenus commonly found in assemblages of ichnofossils dating to the late Pennsylvanian (Moscovian stage) to the late Permian (Changhsingian stage). It has been found throughout Europe, as well as in the United States, Canada, and Morocco.
Ornithichnites is an ichnotaxon of mammal footprint that was originally classified as a dinosaur. [1] The name was originally used by Edward Hitchcock in 1836 as a higher group name rather than a specific ichnogenus, [1] and thus the name does not have priority over specific ichnogeneric names even if they were first identified as Ornithichnites.
When referring to trace fossils, the terms ichnogenus and ichnospecies parallel genus and species respectively. The most promising cases of phylogenetic classification are those in which similar trace fossils show details complex enough to deduce the makers, such as bryozoan borings , large trilobite trace fossils such as Cruziana , and ...
Planolites is an ichnogenus found throughout the Ediacaran and the Phanerozoic that is made during the feeding process of worm-like animals.The traces are generally small, 1–5 mm (0.039–0.197 in), unlined, and rarely branched, with fill that differs from the host rock.
The ichnogenus Dromaeosauripus, meaning "tracks of a dromaeosaurid", was first named in 2008, with the type ichnospecies D. hamanensis named in reference to its type locality: the Haman Formation of South Korea. [1] In 2012, the second ichnospecies D. jinjuensis was described from the Jinju Formation of South Korea. [2]
The ichnospecies is named in honor of Jerry MacDonald, the discoverer and local collector of the ichnofauna of the Robledo Mountains. The prints had a width of 25 mm (1 in) and consisted of symmetrical series of three to four pairs of impressions, large paddle-shaped outer tracks of 12 mm (0.5 in) in length and two or three internal linear ...
Machichnus is an ichnogenus.It was erected by Mikuláš et al. (2006) for shallow, thin, discrete, parallel to subparallel, smooth-bottomed scratches, occurring on bone tissue in small groups or series.
