Defining the morphological quality of fossil footprints. Problems and principles of preservation in tetrapod ichnology with examples from the Palaeozoic to the present
The morphology of fossil footprints is the basis of vertebrate footprint ichnology. However,
the processes acting during and after trace fossil registration which are responsible for the …

Bioerosion ichnotaxa: review and annotated list
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 …

Resilience of infaunal ecosystems during the Early Triassic greenhouse Earth
The Permian-Triassic mass extinction severely depleted biodiversity, primarily observed in
the body fossil of well-skeletonized animals. Understanding how whole ecosystems were …

Quantifying ecospace utilization and ecosystem engineering during the early Phanerozoic—The role of bioturbation and bioerosion
The Cambrian explosion (CE) and the great Ordovician biodiversification event (GOBE) are
the two most important radiations in Paleozoic oceans. We quantify the role of bioturbation …

The rise and early evolution of animals: where do we stand from a trace-fossil perspective?
MG Mángano, LA Buatois - Interface Focus, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The trace-fossil record provides a wealth of information to track the rise and early evolution
of animals. It comprises the activity of both hard-and soft-bodied organisms, is continuous …

Ediacaran biozones identified with network analysis provide evidence for pulsed extinctions of early complex life
Abstract Rocks of Ediacaran age (~ 635–541 Ma) contain the oldest fossils of large, complex
organisms and their behaviors. These fossils document developmental and ecological …

Late Ediacaran trackways produced by bilaterian animals with paired appendages
Ediacaran trace fossils provide key paleontological evidence for the evolution of early
animals and their behaviors. Thus far, however, this fossil record has been limited to simple …
