FIGURE 6 Trace fossils and trace-fossil suites attributable to the substrate-controlled ichnofacies.
(A) Firmground Diplocraterion ( D ) of the Glossifungites Ichnofacies. (B) The present-day boring
Gastrochaenolites ( Ga ) of the Trypanites Ichnofacies. (C) and (D) Woodground borings Teredolites
( Te ), Rhizocorallium ( Rh ), and Thalassinoides ( Th ) of the Teredolites Ichnofacies. Scale in D is
3 cm long.
Coprinisphaera Ichnofacies for permanently subaerially exposed semiarid
paleosols in terrestrial settings associated with savannahs, grasslands, prairies,
and steppes ( Fig. 7D ); the Termitichnus Ichnofacies for warm, humid paleosols
associated with closed forests; the Celliforma Ichnofacies for arid, carbonate-
rich paleosols in scrubs, woodlands, and palustrine environments; and the
Octopodichnus - Entradichnus Ichnofacies for eolian settings. For more
detailed characterization of the individual Seilacherian ichnofacies, the reader
