Fossilized bioelectric wire – the trace fossil Trichichnus [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 The trace fossil Trichichnus is proposed as an indicator of fossil bioelectric bacterial activity at the oxic–anoxic interface zone of marine sediments. This fulfils the idea that such processes, commonly found in the modern realm, should be also present

Names for Trace Fossils: A Uniform Approach
Lethaia, 2006 The taxonomic treatment of trace fossils needs a uniform approach, independent of the ethologic groups concerned. To this aim, trace fossils are rigorously defined with regard to biological taxa and physical sedimentary structures. Potential ichnotaxobases are evaluated, with morphology resulting as the most important criterion.

Ichnogenus Trypanites in the Ordovician of Estonia (Baltica) [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Trypanites is a common boring in Ordovician hardgrounds of Estonia (Baltica). The depth of the sedimentary basin and sedimentation rates controlled the distribution of Trypanites. The trace-makersâ community was diverse and changing over time.

Life, 2022 This review asks some hard questions about what the enigmatic graphoglyptid trace fossils are, documents some of their early fossil record from the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition and explores the idea that they may not have been fossils at all.

First known feeding trace of the eocene bottom-dwelling fish Notogoneus osculus and its paleontological significance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: The Green River Formation (early Eocene, about 42-53 Ma) at and near Fossil Butte National Monument in Wyoming, USA, is world famous for its exquisitely preserved freshwater teleost fish in the former Fossil Lake.

A new miocene–pliocene ichnotaxon for vermetid anchoring bioerosion structures
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 A revision of Renichnus arcuatus Mayoral, 1987, the vermetid attachment etching trace fossil (fixichnia), is presented here with an emended diagnosis.

Parasitic gastropod bioerosion trace fossil on Cenomanian oysters from Le Mans, France and its ichnologic and taphonomic context [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2017 We describe and name Loxolenichnus stellatocinctus Breton and Wisshak igen. et isp. nov., a bioerosion trace fossil on an Upper Cenomanian oyster from Le Mans (France). This trace is attributed here to a parasitic gastropod.

Penetrative trace fossils from the late Ediacaran of Mongolia: early onset of the agronomic revolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The Cambrian radiation of complex animals includes a dramatic increase in the depth and intensity of bioturbation in seafloor sediment known as the ‘agronomic revolution’.

Increase in metazoan ecosystem engineering prior to the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary in the Nama Group, Namibia [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The disappearance of the soft-bodied Ediacara biota at the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary potentially represents the earliest mass extinction of complex life, although the precise driver(s) of this extinction remain unresolved.
