| W. Hantzschel 1975 | Initial, irregular forms of Paleodicton, quite variable, less regular, not strictly polygonal pattern; mostly meanders with ramifications on their apices; sometimes representing transitional forms from Cosmorhaphe or Belorhaphe to Protopaleodictyon, therefore is a combination of features of these ichnogenera. |
