If bridge ichnotaxa are removed, parts of the ichnonetwork will be almost disconnected. Therefore bridge ichnotaxa are hubs connecting different structural units, being ...Skolithos (Haldeman, 1840) DESCRIPTION: Straight vertical to slightly inclined cylindrical burrows with a very thin, discontinuous lining. Burrows can be slightly J-shaped. Walls of burrow are smooth with structureless fill. Burrows are parallel, do not branch, cross, nor interpenetrate. BEHAVIOR(S): Domichnia (dwelling). From this dwelling ...The ichnogenus Skolithos is are recorded from continental to deep marine deposits and the simplicity of the burrows and the variety of potential burrowers make it challenging to identify a probable tracemaker and limit paleoenvironmental interpretations.
