Geological and tectonic evolution of the Transantarctic Mountains, from ancient craton to recent enigma
2020, Gondwana ResearchCitation Excerpt :Trace fossils indicate activity by shallow-water marine arthropods and other invertebrates in basal marine transgressive sediments of the Taylor Group (Bradshaw, 1981). Much of the Taylor Group is non-fossiliferous, but younger units in Taylor Valley contain freshwater fish fossils and bivalve crustaceans (Woolfe, 1990; Young and Long, 2005). Depositional features, paleocurrents, and detrital zircon ages from basal Devonian strata indicate deposition in subsiding basins overlying Ross Orogen basement and having a cratonic source in East Antarctica (see Elliot, 2013; Elliot et al., 2017).
Ichnology of the Laisong Formation (late Eocene-early Oligocene) of the Naga Hills, Indo-Burma range (IBR): Paleoenvironmental significance
2018, Journal of Asian Earth SciencesCitation Excerpt :Trace fossils are autochthonous and generally considered as a good indicators of sedimentary environments as they provide the information of hydrodynamic energy levels during deposition, substrate stability, salinity variations and oxygenation levels (e.g., Seilacher, 1967, 1977; Howard and Frey, 1984; Ekdale et al., 1984; Bromley and Ekdale, 1984; Ekdale, 1985, 1988; Curran, 1985; Bromley, 1990, 1996; Woolfe, 1990; Mángano and Buatois, 1991; Savrda, 1992; MacEachern et al., 1992; Monaco, 1995; Goldring et al., 1997; Anderson and Droser, 1998; Gingras and Pemberton, 2000; Pemberton et al., 2001, 2004; Taylor and Wilson, 2003; Uchman and Pervesler, 2006; MacEachern and Gingras, 2007; Carmona et al., 2010; Buatois and Mángano, 2011; Knaust and Bromley, 2012; Zhang and Zhao, 2015).
Integrated Ichnofacies models for deserts: Recurrent patterns and megatrends
2016, Earth-Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :The environmental setting of the Taylor Group ichnofauna is still unresolved. Gevers et al. (1971) interpreted the outcrops as marine, while others favored a non-marine setting, including fluvial, estuarine, littoral, and eolian facies (Woolfe, 1990, 1993). Even though the ichnoassemblage is similar to that of the Muth Formation, no trackway was recorded on clear subaerially exposed facies (Draganits et al., 2001).
The sedimentary record of Carboniferous rivers: Continuing influence of land plant evolution on alluvial processes and Palaeozoic ecosystems
2013, Earth-Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Lower Devonian strata include a far more diverse array of trace fossil forms, including horizontal burrows, trails and resting traces. In Middle and Upper Devonian strata, the trend for increasing alluvial ichnodiversity continued at a steady but slower rate (Fig. 20B), but ethological innovations are still apparent, including the oldest alluvial examples of vertical burrows (Skolithos) in the Upper Devonian Taylor Group of Antarctica (Woolfe, 1990). Devonian ichnofaunas from lake environments are largely restricted to transitional alluvial-lacustrine facies, where concentrations of drifted plant debris would have provided a nutrient source along lake shorelines and the mouths of distributary channels (Buatois et al., 1998; Buatois and Mángano, 2011).
