A large Taenidium burrow from the Upper Carboniferous of Corrie, Isle of Arran, and remarks on the association of Taenidium burrows and Diplichnites trails

Paul N. Pearson, Robert J. Gooday
Published: 04 November 2019
Scottish Journal of Geology (2019) 55 (2): 135–140.

...Paul N. Pearson; Robert J. Gooday Abstract Large un-walled backfilled burrows of the Taenidium type are known from Paleozoic deltaic marine environments worldwide where they are often associated with Diplichnites trackways. The latter are generally attributed to arthropleurid myriapods and it may...

Taenidium ichnofabric 2 (Tae2). A–C) Tae2 ichnofabric in fine-grained, mixed carbonate–siliciclastic arenite facies of the upper part of point bars. The Tae 2 ichnofabric is characterized by intense to complete bioturbation produced by successive Taenidium barreti suites in multiple (shallow to deep) tiers and root trace fossils. Root trace fossils are elongated in section view (A), circular shaped in plant view (B) and commonly cross-cut Taenidium barreti suites (C). D–F) Tae2 ichnofabric in the reddish sandy-marly mudstone facies of the distal overbank mudflats. Root trace fossils in overbank deposits can be pervasive, forming systems with horizontal and vertical segments (E) cross-cutting Taenidium barreti suites (F). Rectangles in D and E shown in images E and F, respectively. Abbreviations: BI = bioturbation index; Ta = Taenidium barreti; Rt = root trace fossil.
