Distribution of Ordovician-Silurian ichnofossil assemblages in Wales - implications for Phanerozoic ichnofaunas

The stratigraphic succession of west Wales may be subdivided into two dominant lithologies, namely sandstone and mudstone. The distribution of these lithologies is largely determined by tectonic activity and eustatic sea-level changes in the area. The strata contain a diverse and relatively abundant ichnofaunal assemblage consisting, at the ichnogeneric level, of fifteen forms: Chondrites, Circulichnis , Cochlichnus, Cosmorhaphe, Desmograpton, Gordia, Helminthoida, Helminthopsis , Nereites, Neonereites, Palaeo-phycus, Paleodictyon (Glenodictyon), Paleodictyon (Squamodictyon) , Planolites, Protopaleodictyon and Spirophycus. The ichnogenera are not evenly distributed throughout the succession, the main controlling factors being toponomy, anoxia, water depth and a global extinction event. The relative importance of these controls is examined with reference to 33 previously described and taxonomically well-documented deep-water flysch ichnofossil studies. □ Trace fossils, Palaeozoic, Wales, toponomy, anoxia, depth, extinction.     

A Nereites ichnofacies from the Ordovician‐Silurian Welsh Basin

The sediments of the Ordovician‐Silurian succession of west Wales are interpreted as turbiditic sands with associated pelagic and hemi‐pelagic mudstones. The strata contain a trace fossil assemblage consisting of fifteen ichnogenera, namely: Chondrites, Circulichnis, Cochlichnus, Cosmorhaphe, Desmograpton, Gordia, Helminthoida, Helminthopsis, Neonereites, Nereites, Paleodictyon, Palaeophycus, Planolites, Protopaleodictyon and Spirophycus. The ichnofaunal assemblage is typical of the Nereites ichnofacies. Twenty three ichno‐species are described, two of which (Helminthoida granulata, Palaeophycus serratus) are new. Turbiditic sands contain the most abundant and diverse ichnoassemblages, a reflection of favorable environmental conditions for habitation by benthic organisms. Both the turbiditic mudstones and anoxic hemipelagites contain just two ichno‐species, namely Chondrites ichnosp. and Planolites montanus both of which are common, albeit less so in the latter facies. The effects of preservation potential, medium and preservation mechanisms are also important controls on distribution.     

A diverse deep‐marine Ichnofauna from the Eocene Tarcau sandstone of the Eastern Carpathians,Romania

The Paleocene to Middle Eocene Tarcau Sandstone at Buzau Valley, eastern Carpathians, Romania, records sedimentation in a turbidite system. These strata contain a diverse and abundant pre‐ and postdepositional ichnofauna consisting of 35 ichnogenera and 54 ichnospecies. The predepositional assemblage is rich in graphoglyptids and ornate grazing trails; simple grazing trails, resting traces, and feeding structures also occur. The predepositional assemblage includes Acan‐thorhaphe, Belorhaphe, Cardioichnus, Circulichnus, Coch‐lichnus, Cosmorhaphe, Desmograpton, Fustiglyphus, Gordia, Helicolithus, Helminthopsis, Helminthorhaphe, Lorenzinia, Megagrapton, Paleodictyon, Paleomeandron, Protopaleodictyon, Scolicia (S. strozzii), Spirorhaphe, Spirophycus, Treptichnus, and Urohelminthoida. The ich‐nodiversity, composition, ethology, and morphologic complexity of the predepositional association are indicative of the Nereites ichnofacies. The postdepositional association essentially consists of dwelling, feeding, and grazing traces, and is represented by Chondrites, Glockerichnus, Halopoa, Nereites, Ophiomorpha, Phycodes, Planolites, Polykampton, Scolicia(S. prisca. S. striata), Taenidium, Thalassinoides, and Zoophycos. Palaeophycus occurs in both assemblages. Allochthonous Teredolites is present in wood fragments, The postdepositional association includes elements of the Skolithos ichnofacies and facies‐crossing forms that are commonly present in deep‐marine deposits, Elements of the Skolithos ichnofacies are present not only in the most proximal parts of the turbidite system, but also in distal parts. The number of predepositional forms greatly exceeds postdepositional ones, reflecting a dominance of K‐selected over r‐selected population strategies in a stable environment. High levels of ichnodiversity in the Tarcau Sandstone are comparable with deep‐sea ichnofaunas from the Polish Carpathians and with other flysch trace‐fossil assemblages of similar age. This abundant and diverse Eocene ichnofauna supports the idea of extremely rich deep‐sea ichnofaunas in the Cenozoic.

Trace fossils from arenig flysch sediments of eire and their bearing on the early colonisation of the deep seas

A sequence of Lower Ordovician (Arenig) turbidites in Co. Wexford, Eire, has yielded one of the earliest diverse ichnofaunas yet recorded from deep water sediments comprising: Chondrites, Glockerichnus, Gordia, Helminthopsis, Lorenzinia, Neonereites, Palaeophycus, Paleodictyon, Planolites, Sublorenzinia, Taenidium, Taphrhelminthopsis, Teichichnus and Tomaculum. This ichnofauna is critical in any analysis of the colonisation of the deep seas by trace fossil‐producing animals.

A world‐wide review shows that the earliest trace fossils are mainly from Late Precambrian shelf sea environments, but many more evolved during very rapid diversification in the pre‐trilobite Lower Cambrian.

There was little increase in diversity in shallow water after the Lower Cambrian but a progressive colonisation of the deep ocean took place and this accelerated during the Ordovician, when the main lineages of deep sea trace fossils were established there. Rosetted, patterned, meandering and simple spiral forms evolved in shallow water in the Upper Precambrian and pre‐trilobite Lower Cambrian and only later migrated into the deep sea, whereas complex, closely programmed, spiral traces may have evolved there.
