Marine organisms have occupied hard substrates since the Archaean. Shells, rocks, wood
and sedimentary hardgrounds offer relatively stable habitats compared to unconsolidated …

Ichnodisparity has been recently introduced as a concept to assess the variability of
morphologic plans in biogenic structures, revealing major innovations in body plan …

A remarkable diversity of bioerosion trace fossils is reflected by the plethora of ichnotaxa that
has been proposed for these structures during the past two centuries. Bioerosion traces …

About 65 ichnogenera and a number of bioerosional trace fossils that are unnamed are
catalogued with respect to their stratigraphic ranges. In most cases, corresponding …

Two new insect-related ichnogenera are reported in fossil dinosaur bones from Upper
Cretaceous continental strata in Madagascar and Utah. Cubiculum ornatus n. igen. and isp …

Abstract The Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR) was a major evolutionary episode
involving the large-scale restructuring of shallow-marine benthic communities and the rise to …

Abstract Ichnological study of Lower Pliocene rocky shores in several northwestern
Mediterranean basins has revealed the existence of a recurrent trace fossil assemblage of …

Trace fossils are common in the Ordovician and Silurian shallow marine carbonate
succession of Estonia, with 45 ichnofossil genera and five bioclaustration structures …

Some of the world's oldest macroborings occur in hardgrounds in lower Ordovician (Arenig)
limestones exposed on the island of Öland, southern Sweden. The trace fossils, which are …

Abstract The Global Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) was undoubtedly one of the
most significant evolutionary events in the history of the marine biosphere. A continuous …
