This paper sets out a philosophical approach to ichnological (trace fossil) analysis, which
focuses on the interpretation of trace fossils as sedimentary structures rather than as …

In recent years the ichnology of tide-dominated and influenced environments has mainly
been focused on marginal-marine brackish-water environments, such as estuaries and …

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 …

Despite the historical assumption that the bulk of marine “shelf” mud is deposited by gradual
fallout from suspension in quiet water, recent studies of modern muddy shelves and their …

The ichnofacies paradigm has evolved over a six-decade period since its original inception
by Dolf Seilacher. It is a multidimensional framework underpinned by recurring, facies …

The facies characteristics of the shallow marine environment are largely determined by the
complex interplay and relative importance of wave energy, tidal flux, storm magnitudes and …

The Aptian evaporitic transitional sequence (sag phase) of the Brazilian marginal basins
records the first connection between the Central and South Atlantic oceans in the equatorial …

Seilacherian Ichnofacies have been established, to date, for characterizing relatively stable
depositional settings. Environments characterized by temporally and spatially varying …

Abstract Analysis of Neogene cores from the Eastern Venezuela Basin along 65 km of a
west–east trending shoreline allows characterization of the sedimentological and …

Existing wave-dominated facies models are based on microtidal coastlines and do not
adequately address wave-dominated environments influenced by significant tidal ranges …
