Mammal tooth traces in a ferruginous cave in southeastern Brazil and their relevance to cave legal protection

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
: We describe the first occurrence of biogenic traces made by mammals within an iron formation cave located in the Serra da Ferrugem Ridge, in Southeastern Brazil.

Cortical bone geometry and static gravitational loads in neosauropod dinosaurs: Implications for biomechanical constraints on terrestrial gigantism

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sauropod dinosaurs achieved unprecedented terrestrial gigantism, raising questions about the biomechanical limits of bone under extreme gravitational loads. We estimated static gravitational pressures (Pg) on appendicular cortical bone in neosauropods, including diplodocoids, brachiosaurids, and titanosaurs.

Ichnology of the Rhätsandstein in the Exter Formation (Triassic), Germany

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Trace fossils from the Rhätsandstein of southern Germany record repeated colonization of high‐energy shallow‐marine substrates before the Triassic–Jurassic transition. The assemblage reflects environmental and preservational controls on ichnodiversity.

Ichnological analysis and paleoenvironmental inferences of Neogene meandering fluvial deposits in Continental Rift of Southeastern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology
The sedimentary basins in the Continental Rift of Southeastern Brazil (CRSB) provide an opportunity for ichnological analyses due to its well-known facies relationships and paleoenvironmental interpretations. This study reports invertebrate trace fossils

Spatial and Seasonal Studies of Sedimentological and Neoichnological Characteristics from Mangrove areas of Karachi, Pakistan [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Economic and Environment Geology, 2016
The purpose of this study is to appraise the physicochemical properties of mangrove sediments and their influence on neoichnological properties produced by different crab species from Korangi Creek (S1) and Sandspit backwater areas (S2 and S3), Karachi ...

Contourite erosional and depositional features of the Maastrichtian chalk on Jasmund peninsula (Rügen island, NE Germany)

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic‐scale features such as deeply incised submarine valleys and mounded drifts together with ichnological features indicative of discontinuous sedimentation and erosional episodes have recently been documented from the Upper Cretaceous chalk in the southern Baltic Sea area.

Martian stick-like structures are not trace fossils: A new protocol for testing ichnogenicity synthesized from paleosol ichnology

open access: yes, 2021
There are different criteria that are usually analysed independently before identifying a new trace fossil, such as morphological regularity, completeness, dispersion, recurrence and complexity, surface morphology, and context.

Palaeoecological importance of trace fossils from the Permian, Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits of Mountainous Adygeya

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2015
Trace fossils may be of crucial importance for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, which is demonstrated by example of new ichnological finds in Mountainous Adygeya.

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

In a galaxy far, far away... traces? : astrobiological potential of ichnology

open access: yes, 2016
Organism-substrate interactions and their products – individual traces and ichnofabrics – are important biosignatures on Earth as they represent direct evidence of biological behaviour.
