Fossilized bioelectric wire – the trace fossil Trichichnus
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 in the geological past. Trichichnus is an exceptional trace fossil due to its very thin diameter (mostly less than 1 mm) and common pyritic fi...
متن کاملBehavioural variants of the trace fossil Gyrochorte
The trace fossil Gyrochorte is common in Upper Jurassic siliciclastic rocks of the Kachchh Basin, western India. In the Kimmeridgian Katrol Formation, Gyrochorte comosa Heer, 1865 is tied to storm-generated fine-grained sandstones and exhibits an internal structure composed of double arches in cross-section, confirming the three-dimensional nature of the trace fossil and its interpretation as p...
متن کاملIchnotaxonomic analysis of trace fossil assemblages of the Upper Triassic Nayband Formation, Tabas Block, Central Iran
This study includes a thorough systematic analysis of the ichnological record in the Late Triassic siliciclastic Nayband Formation of the Tabas Block, Central Iran. A total of 48 ichnospecies representing 28 ichnogenera are identified and their preservation aspects, paleoecological aspects, producers and behavioral aspects are discussed. The ichnofauna includes Arenicolites, Asterosoma, Bergaue...
متن کاملEyes fossilized
Fossilized insects are normally two-dimensional, because the exoskeleton tends to collapse during decay. The remarkable specimens shown above have been preserved in three dimensions because of the unusual conditions under which they formed. The images are scanning electron micrographs of the eyes of fossilized beetles from the Tertiary period, found in limestone at a site in northwest Queenslan...
