ICHNOTAXONOMY AND ETHOLOGY OF BORINGS IN SHALLOW-MARINE BENTHIC FORAMINIFERS FROM THE MAASTRICHTIAN AND EOCENEOF NORTHWESTERN AND SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004
Larger benthic foraminiferal tests from the Maastrichtian and Eocene of western Turkey contain a large variety of borings. Two ichnospecies are defined. Maeandropolydora osmaneliensis isp. nov.

Unusual occurrence of Cochlichnus in aeolian sandstones: evidence for a stiletto fly larval origin

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Cochlichnus anguineus is an ichnotaxon recognized for its distinctive regular wavy morphology. It is a characteristic trace fossil typically associated with aquatic and marginal aquatic environments. However, in this study we examine its unusual occurrence in the aeolian sandstones of the Botucatu Formation (Lower Cretaceous, Paraná Basin ...

Bivalve trace fossils in an early Miocene discontinuity surface in Patagonia, Argentina: Burrowing behavior and implications for ichnotaxonomy at the firmground-hardground divide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Ichnofossils developed in a firmground at the contact between the middle Eocene-lower Miocene continental Sarmiento Formation and the lower Miocene marine Chenque Formation, in central-eastern Patagonia, Argentina, are assigned to Gastrochaenolites ...

Formation, preservation, and interpretation of dinosaur tracks

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The fossilized tracks of dinosaurs were first reported in the scientific literature in 1836, not long after Buckland's discovery of Megalosaurus. Tracks record aspects of dinosaur locomotion, diversity, and ecology. To recover this information from a track requires an understanding of the track forming process.

A short trackway of tridactyl fossil footprints discovered in the Kaipara region of the North Island of New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 816-830, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fossil trackways record snapshots of the lives of ancient animals. A short trackway of unwebbed tridactyl footprints from the Kaipara region of the North Island of New Zealand contributes to the growing record of fossil footprints discovered in Aotearoa.

Middle Pleistocene revelations: unravelling taphonomic processes in mammals including Mesotherium cristatum (Mesotheriidae, Notoungulata), Corralito Site, Córdoba Province, Argentina

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Taphonomic studies of Cenozoic mammals are scarce. We report a study of the taphonomy of the Corralito site (Middle Pleistocene to Holocene), Córdoba Province, Argentina, which documents the last population of the South American native ungulate typotherid Mesotherium cristatum. We discovered two specimens of M.

First soft body morphological data on the tracemaker of the endolithic bryozoan trace fossil Terebripora ramosa d'Orbigny, 1842

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.
The ctenostome bryozoan genus Terebripora is one of four extant endolithic bryozoan taxa. Many questions surrounding its phylogeny and integrity as true biological taxon persist. This study investigates the tracemaker of Terebripora ramosa (TTR), and finds no typical vesicularioid features, instead supporting a close relationship to the other ...

Tetrapod ichnotaxonomy in eolian paleoenvironments (Coconino and De Chelly formations, Arizona) and late Cisuralian (Permian) sauropsid radiation

open access: yes, 2019
The tetrapod footprint record of Permian eolian environments has long been underestimated because of overall poor preservation and its apparent monospecifity.
