The trace fossil Zoophycos from the Silurian of Estonia

The trace fossil Zoophycos from the Silurian of Estonia

Trace fossils of the ichnogenus Zoophycos have been described for the first time from the Silurian of Baltica. They occur in Llandovery pure limestones of middle Estonia and in Ludfordian argillaceous limestones and early Pridoli crinoid grainstones of western Estonia (Saaremaa). The occurrence of Z...
