Scolicia

Wikipedia Abstract

Scolicia de Quartrefages, 1849 is a parataxon of ichnofossils present in sedimentary rocks of marine, marginal lacustrine, alluvial, or fluvial facies. These fossil traces appear in a wide geological range, from the Cambrian to the present. Scolicia traces appear as horizontal, bilaterally symmetrical, meandering trails, variably shaped, ridgelike or ribbon like, about 1-5 centimeters wide. The trail consists of two parallel and identical in width stripes with variable trasversal ribs and a central channel. \n* Ichnofossil Scolicia from Oligocene-Miocene of Spain \n*
