Trace Fossil

Recommended Posts

Hi. Here's a trace fossil that I found in the Early Devonian Esopus Formation of New York. The environment was deep water, dysoxic, and muddy so nothing but sediment burrowers could really live there. The closest match I could find in the literature was DICTYDORA. This fossil has also been found in a Middle Devonian formation further upstate. Any ideas? Thanks.

Tom
