TLDR
In this paper, a behavioural response to a bathymetric gradient in food suply is suggested as the main reason for the change of trace fossils with depth, and actual depth figures can now be added from counterparts in the present oceans.

Ichnology: Organism-Substrate Interactions in Space and Time

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the ichnology of a range of depositional environments is presented using examples from the Precambrian to the recent, and the use of trace fossils in facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy is discussed.

Chondrites: A Trace Fossil Indicator of Anoxia in Sediments

TL;DR: Chondrites indicates that the burrow system was produced deep within the sediment in the anaerobic zone below the surficial oxidized zone that was characterized by freely circulating and oxidizing pore waters.

Deep-water facies, processes and models: a review and classification scheme for modern and ancient sediments

TL;DR: A review of previous work on modern and ancient deep-water facies, processes and models is presented in this paper with a new classification scheme involving 40 distinct facies related to 15 conceptually distinct groups.

Turbidites of the northern Apennines: introduction to facies analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of facies analysis for the Turbidites of the northern Apennines and present a facies-based approach to the analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uniformity in marine invertebrate ichnology

TL;DR: The present is indeed a key to the ichnologic past, and vice versa; in practice, however, the present has been studied considerably less than its importance would dictate.

Treatise on invertebrate paleontology

TL;DR: Treatise on invertebrate paleontology as mentioned in this paper, a Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology and its relationship with invertebrates, is the most relevant work to ours.

Burrows of Callianassa major Say, geologic indicators of littoral and shallow neritic environments

TL;DR: Hoyt et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that Callianassa major is confined to the high-energy littoral and shallow neritic environments and found abundant structures that have been identified as burrows made by Callianasaurus major.

Paleontological Studies on Turbidite Sedimentation and Erosiona

TL;DR: The postdepositional sole trails of Flysch psammites occur only in thinner beds up to a thickness particular to each species, which proves instantaneous deposition of the individual beds, as postulated by the turbidity-current theory as discussed by the authors.
