Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| W. Hantzschel 1975 | Large, uniformly branching burrow systems along bedding planes; containing cylindroidal to ellipsoidal fecal pellets. Branches generally nearly rectilinear, fairly uniform in length (10-30 cm) and width (1.5 cm), developed by repeated equal, distally directed, lateral forking from opposite points along distal half of individual segments. Burrows show multiple laminations indicative of upward displacement of burrows during successive stages of occupation, similar to Teichichnus. |
