The Stratigraphical Significance of Trace Fossils
Trace fossils have many uses in stratigraphy. Short-ranging forms can date otherwise unfossiliferous successions, as exemplified here by lower Paleozoic successions in Europe and North America. Trace…
Preservation of Trace Fossils
Trace fossils are normally preserved at or near interfaces, as a result of burrowing or crawling activity along the junction of successive beds of different lithology. The traces may be enhanced by…
Trace Fossils in Carbonate Rocks
Most terrigenous clastic sequences have calcareous equivalents, and trace fossil suites well known from terrigenous clastic sediments have their counterparts in carbonates. Well-studied examples…
Trace Fossil Assemblages in Leg 66 Sediments
Leg 66 drilling across the Middle America Trench provides an opportunity to study trace fossil distribution across an active margin. Variations in sedimentation rate and water depth, and higher…
Trace fossils as environmental indicators in the Corallian of England and Normandy
The distribution of trace fossils in Corallian (Upper Jurassic) rocks has been studied in three coastal areas in Yorkshire, Dorset, and Normandy. Three trace fossil associations, primarily related to…

Trace Fossils from the Permo-Triassic of Arran
Synopsis The first identifiable trace fossils recorded in the Permo-Triassic of Arran come from an exposure within the Auchenhew Beds near King’s Cave on the west coast. The forms cf. “Siphonites”,…

Abstract The Lower Permian Snapper Point Formation at its type locality in the southern Sydney Basin is interpreted as a regressive sequence of a linear clastic shoreline. Lithologies, sedimentary…
Ichnological Characteristics of Brackish Water Deposits
Four coarsening upward parasequences, ranging in thickness from 4 to 17m are present in an Upper Mannville (Aptian to early Albian) core from east central Alberta. These parasequences are composed of…

TLDR
Certain coiled tracks appear in photographs from the bottom of most oceans and are abundant in some regions although, despite earlier evidence, they are rarely considered to be either active or abyssal.
