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.
[3] [1] Three ichnospecies of Ichniotherium have been proposed as valid: I. cotta, I. sphaerodactylum, and I. praesidentis. [ 1 ] In a 2007 study, the diadectid species Diadectes absitus was determined to be the track-maker associated with I. cotta tracks, and the related diadectid species Orobates pabsti was linked to I. praesidentis based on ...
The confusing history of dinosaur footprints means many kinds of theropod tracks have been put into the Megalosauripus ichnogenus, [4] even though they were an entirely different ichnospecies. This makes it hard to piece together what exactly is Megalosauripus , and what is not.
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 ...
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.
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.
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.
Three ichnospecies are known: A. camisardi, A. ginsburgi [1] and A. hereroensis; all of which were named by Paul Ellenberger between 1965 and 1972. See also.
