Comments
Zoophycos are swirling patterns in silt stone that may cover acres of flat ground. These trace fossils occur on the sea floor from the Ordovician to present, but no specific animal has been definitively identified. It is believed that they are created by movement and feeding patterns of polychaete worms.
