什么是 Ichnofacies?

Definition 20.9 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 2 · 第 20 章 — Fossils and Palaeoenvironments

An ichnofacies is a recurrent association of trace fossils that reflects a set of environmental conditions; it is named after a characteristic trace.

The four marine ichnofacies of Seilacher’s model along a profile from the shore to the deep basin, with a sketch of a characteristic trace of each; depths are not to scale. The traces respond to energy, food and oxygen more than to depth as such.

示例

Example 20.10 (The base of the Varden cover)

The sandstone holds channel fills on scoured bases, roots and plant fragments, and no marine fossil: it was laid down by rivers on land. The oolitic limestone above has cross-bedded ooids, which grow as they roll in agitated water, vertical tubes and U-shaped burrows of the Skolithos ichnofacies, and worn shell fragments, all allochthonous: a shoal of the shoreface, swept by waves. Between the two the sea arrived: the contact records a marine transgression. In the order of Walther’s law, the river plain was followed by the shore, then the shoal.
