  1. 1. The Origins and Ecology of Early Paleozoic Spreiten Ichnofossils: Comparisons of Daedalus and Syringomorpha with Alectorurus

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Zane Goodell; [2023]
    Keywords : trace fossils; ichnology; Cambrian; Daedalus desglandi; Alectorurus circinatus; Syringomorpha nilssoni; the agronomic revolution;

    Abstract : The Cambrian explosion not only shaped the ecosystems of the Phanerozoic, but fundamentally changed how biota interacts with the environment, including the substrate. Cambrian trace fossils Alectorurus and Syringomorpha as well as Ordovician-Silurian Daedalus represent novel modes of faunal interaction with the newly innovated shallow marine mixed-ground and have surprisingly limited stratigraphic ranges.
