This record extends the known range of Psilonichnus which has previously been recorded from rocks of Jurassic or younger age. The trace maker of the burrows described herein has not been preserved and remains unknown; however, the ichnogenus Psilonichnus is generally ascribed to the burrowing activities of decapod crustaceans such as crabs or shrimp. Decapods from the Paleozoic are poorly known and assigning the traces to a maker must be treated with caution. However, this record indicates that burrowing organisms using a similar life strategy to modern decapods were established by Brigantian times. These examples are assigned to the Glossifungites ichnofacies, as they occur on an omission surface in a shallow marine carbonate firmground. The burrows were subsequently infilled with deposits of possible storm origin. Glacioeustatic sea-level fluctuation related to the onset of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age is a common feature of Carboniferous sedimentary successions at this level, and the Irish (Mississippian) Psilonichnus horizon occurs just below a significant regional sequence boundary at the top of the Slievenaglasha Formation.","PeriodicalId":51057,"journal":{"name":"Ichnos-An International Journal for Plant and Animal Traces","volume":"81 1","pages":"208 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89214832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It differs from the few preserved coeval coastlines of the Central Paratethys in the dominance of borings attributable to echinoids. These borings are represented by roughly smooth shallow circular pits interpreted as dwelling traces of echinoids. Ichnotaxonomically, they can be placed in the ichnospecies Circolites kotoucensis Mikuláš, 1992. Besides usual individual pits, two discernible varieties of composite Circolites were found: (1) linear chains of pits interconnected by a smoothed joint bottom; and (2) spirally folded pits resembling a rosacean flower. The linear chains are morphologically very similar to narrow forms of Planavolites homolensis Mikuláš, 1992 and to Ericichnus bromleyi Santos and Mayoral, 2015. This similarity demonstrates the necessity of a review of the diagnoses of all the hitherto described ichnogenera attributed to boring echinoids, i.e., Circolites, Ericichnus, and Planavolites. We suggest that linear or planar traces with smoothed bottoms should be considered a composite of neighbouring Circolites, provided that the remains of individual pits are still discernible in the ground plan. Ericichnus is now considered as junior synonym of Planavolites Mikuláš, 1992.","PeriodicalId":51057,"journal":{"name":"Ichnos-An International Journal for Plant and Animal Traces","volume":"8 1","pages":"271 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84531502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present ichnological study helps to corroborate a delta environment as the most likely palaeoenvironmental setting, and to recognize the different sub-environments and hydrodynamic processes involved. The distal delta front displays the greatest trace fossil diversity, assigned to the Cruziana ichnofacies, including Ophiomorpha, Phycosiphon, Planolites, Rosselia, Schaubcylindrichnus, Scolicia, Thalassinoides and vertical equilibrium adjustment structures. The delta front records predominantly vertical traces attributable to the Skolithos ichnofacies. Amalgamated shell beds (most likely related to storm events) show concentrations of broken bivalve shells. After storm a selective colonization is interpreted, firstly by bioerosive tracemakers during times of decreasing sedimentation rate, followed by a dominance of trophic generalists such as those producing Ophiomorpha during post-storm sedimentation.","PeriodicalId":51057,"journal":{"name":"Ichnos-An International Journal for Plant and Animal Traces","volume":"185 1","pages":"27 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75997833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Small animals (arthropods and vertebrates) leave their footprints in eolian sands but such tracks do not last long. Wind and avalanching may re-mobilize sand grains and obliterate their footprints, ultimately preventing them from entering fossil record. Some of these fleeting tracks are lucky enough to survive at the parting surfaces between sedimentary layers. This paper highlights the possible role that sub-0 °C temperatures play in the biostratinomy of eolian tracks. Water combined with sub-0 °C temperatures may create short-lasting ice cementation within the very top of an active sand layer—mm-scale crust. The temporal cement stabilizes the surface, inhibits the re-mobilization of sand particles and hinders the obliteration of footprints. Such crust may provide a brief time window of enhanced preservation potential, protecting tracks until incoming sand buries them. On the contrary, if the ice-cement crust forms before the passage of a small and light trackmaker, no tracks are formed at all. This is because the crust is impenetrable to the tiny feet of light animals. Therefore, sub-0 °C temperatures apparently may play both, positive and negative roles in the biostratinomy of eolian tracks.","PeriodicalId":51057,"journal":{"name":"Ichnos-An International Journal for Plant and Animal Traces","volume":"4 1","pages":"133 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75806634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One track in particular (attributed to the ichnogenus Pecoripeda) retains an exceptional level of detail, demonstrating the excellent trackway-preserving potential of the volcanic ash fall (tuff) layers at this important hominin archaeological locality. Olduvai Gorge is renowned for its abundant Plio-Pleistocene (zoo)archaeological discoveries and fossiliferous deposits vis-à-vis studies of human evolution. Fossil trackways, and trace fossils more widely, provide an important additional tool for characterizing ancient ecosystems, which remain underexplored at Olduvai. Considered together with fossil hominin remains, information derived from coeval fossil animal tracks provides additional insight into our ancestors’ behaviour and their interactions with the surrounding palaeoenvironment. A range of large herbivore tracks indicates the availability of nearby resources (i.e., freshwater, vegetation preferred by grazers/browsers). These newly-discovered tracks are of archaeological and palaeontological significance because they highlight the potential for future discovery of animal or hominin tracks and trackways preserved in tuff at Olduvai and in other archaeological localities.","PeriodicalId":51057,"journal":{"name":"Ichnos-An International Journal for Plant and Animal Traces","volume":"106 1","pages":"114 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79148564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout the Renaissance and Early Modern periods, several thinkers approached the same line of reasoning, from Leonardo da Vinci to Nicolas Steno. Among fossil material, trace fossils are furthest removed from the living organism, and the identification of trace fossils as such is extremely rare in the period, even when body fossils were increasingly being seen as organic. Alongside Leonardo da Vinci, whose personal observations in the early 16th century remained unpublished for centuries, and Ulisse Aldrovandi, whose account of trace fossils was published posthumously in 1648, I here show that Bernard Palissy also recognised the biological origins of at least one form of trace fossil. The publication of Palissy’s identification occurred in 1580, 68 years before Aldrovandi’s was published, and 23 years before the manuscript on which that publication was based. Moreover, like Aldrovandi, Palissy’s recognition includes specific identification of the trace as being produced by pholad molluscs. Palissy’s is therefore the oldest example of an ichnological identification to be found in the published literature.","PeriodicalId":51057,"journal":{"name":"Ichnos-An International Journal for Plant and Animal Traces","volume":"15 1","pages":"125 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82065777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
