The deep-marine environment is a complex setting in which numerous processes—settling
of pelagic and hemipelagic particles in the water column, sediment gravity flows (downslope …

Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first
book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

Ichnodiversity has been used as a proxy for environmental stress and stability in facies
interpretations and to reconstruct evolutionary radiations and colonization histories in …

The ichnofacies paradigm endures as the elegant, unifying framework within which accurate
ichnological observations and their reliable environmental interpretations can be derived …

Abstract Analysis of fifty-eight paleosol trace fossil assemblages, ranging from the Triassic to
the Recent, allows refinement of continental ichnofacies models and the proposal of a …

We recognize three fundamental terms in ichnology:(1) ichnoassemblage, which is an
assemblage of ichnofossils conceptually equivalent to an assemblage of body fossils;(2) …

At present, three continental archetypal ichnofacies are widely accepted: the Scoyenia,
Mermia and Coprinisphaera ichnofacies. The last is present in palaeosols, and the first two …

Various trace fossils from the Hassberge Formation and the Löwenstein Formation (Middle
Keuper, Upper Triassic) of the Haßberge region are described. Twenty-three different forms …

Floodplain deposits from the Carboniferous Tupe Formation of western Argentina contain a
low-diversity ichnofauna of invertebrates and plants. The assemblage consists of …

The study of continental ichnofaunas has shown an explosive development during the last
decade. At present, three continental archetypal ichnofacies are accepted: the Scoyenia …
