A Critical Review of Eolian Ichnofacies

open access: yesGeosciences (Switzerland)
Two ichnofacies have been named to encompass inland eolian depositional systems, the Octopodichnus and the Entradichnus ichnofacies, and are often combined into a single, Octopodichnus–Entradichnus ichnofacies.

The Late Miocene Rifian corridor as a natural laboratory to explore a case of ichnofacies distribution in ancient gateways [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Oceanic gateways have modulated ocean circulation and have influenced climatic variations throughout the Earth´s history. During the late Miocene (7.8–7.35 Ma), the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea were connected through the Rifian Corridor ...

The ichnofacies and ichnoassemblages in terrestrial deposits of China

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2014
Over the last 30 years, terrestrial ichnofossil research was mostly focused on three ichnofacies: the Scoyenia ichnofacies, characterizing transitional fluvio-lacustrine environments, the Mermia ichnofacies, characterizing fully lacustrine settings, and ...

Animal–substrate interactions preserved in ancient lagoonal chalk [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Trace-fossil assemblages reflect the response of the benthos to sets of paleoenvironmental conditions during and immediately after sedimentation. Trace fossils have been widely studied in pelagic shelf and deep-sea chalk deposits from around the globe ...

A new insect trackway from the Upper Jurassic—Lower Cretaceous eolian sandstones of São Paulo State, Brazil: implications for reconstructing desert paleoecology [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
The new ichnospecies Paleohelcura araraquarensis isp. nov. is described from the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous Botucatu Formation of Brazil. This formation records a gigantic eolian sand sea (erg), formed under an arid climate in the south-central part

Tetrapod tracks in Permo–Triassic eolian beds of southern Brazil (Paraná Basin) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Tetrapod tracks in eolianites are widespread in the fossil record since the late Paleozoic. Among these ichnofaunas, the ichnogenus Chelichnus is the most representative of the Permian tetrapod ichnological record of eolian deposits of Europe, North ...
