...LUIS A. BUATOIS Abstract The Ediacaran–Cambrian (E-C) boundary is based on the first appearance of the ichnofossil Treptichnus pedum . Investing an ichnotaxon with such biostratigraphic pre-eminence has been the focus of criticism. Points of contention have revolved around four main issues: (1...

...Luis A. Buatois; John Almond; Gerard J.B. Germs Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary, arguably the most important in the stratigraphic column, is based on the first appearance of the ichnospecies Treptichnus pedum . However, most trace fossils have long temporal ranges and occur in a narrow...

... Treptichnus pedum. Facies analysis shows that T. pedum is closely linked to a nearshore sandstone deposit, indicating a close environmental or taphonomic connection to very shallow, mud-draped sandy seafloor swept by tidal currents. Facies restriction may limit the biostratigraphic potential of T. pedum...

Variations in Treptichnus pedum preservation in relation to different types of outcrop exposure. Scale bars are 1 cm. (a) Bed base with segments extending laterally on a flat, well exposed surface. Positive hyporelief, Grand Bank Head, M2A. (b) Oblique weathering of a bed top displaying sickle-like segments extending laterally and obliquely (white arrows). Note that thin mudstone laminae are progressively weathered on the surface (yellow arrows), revealing the Treptichnus morphology. Full relief, Lewin’s Cove, M2A. (c) Vertical exposure (i.e., cross-sectional view) displaying four aligned individual segments cut transversally. This type of preservation is rarely encountered in the CIF. Full relief, Point May, M2B. (d) Line drawing of (c) showing that only the lateral part of Treptichnus segments is visible on the rock surface.

Treptichnus pedum preserved on sandstone bed soles. A–B) Specimen with curved portions in which the segments project outwards, resulting in an appearance that has been compared to a crosier. C, D, F) Specimens in which vertically oriented portions are preferentially preserved. E) Close-up of small specimen in lower right portion of image C. G) Two different-sized specimens. Note, however, the thin burrow connecting vertical portions in the larger specimen, which suggests that the width of the vertical portions may have little bearing on the diameter of the producer.

Figure 3. A: Treptichnus pedum on base of sandstone bed, Early Cambrian Mickwitzia sandstone member, File Haidar Formation, Lugnås, Västergötland, Sweden (Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge, x29339). Scale bar = 10 mm. B, C: Change in morphology of trepthichnid as result of lowering plane of intersection (preservation) between trace fossil and base of preserving bed, simulated by pressing Plasticine onto trace in A (less pressure in C) and casting molds with plaster. Note that trace becomes increasingly discontinuous and that some probes are lost, increasing similarity with treptichnids from Huns Member. Scale bars = 10 mm.

...) was confirmed by subsequent discoveries. Because the upper part of the LMWCF contains Treptichnus pedum (Seilacher), the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary has long been drawn at its first appearance. However, in the Esmeralda Member of the Deep Spring Formation in the White-Inyo Mountains, California, and at Mount...
