The ichnogenus Thalassinoides: burrow fossil produced by crustaceans from the Middle Jurassic, Makhtesh Qatan, 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.
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.
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.
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.
Breviparopus (ichnotype B. taghbaloutensis) is the name given to an ichnogenus of dinosaur, having been made by an unknown genus of sauropod.As an ichnogenus, the taxon is represented by (and named for) a 90-metre (295 ft) long series of fossil tracks, or ichnites, found in the spring of 1979 in the Atlas Mountains of present-day Morocco.
Ichniotherium (meaning "marking creature") is an ichnogenus of tetrapod footprints from between the Late Carboniferous period to the Early Permian period attributed to diadectomorph track-makers.
Selenichnites (‘moon track’ [3]) is a Cambrian to Jurassic trace fossil that has been found on every continent. [1] It consists of crescent-shaped impressions interpreted as resting [3] or burrowing [1] traces of Xiphosura (extinct relatives of horseshoe crabs).
