Species
Taenidium serpentinum Heer, 1887
Taxon description
Chen, Z.-Q. et al., 2012
Taenidium is indicated by unlined, straight or slightly curved to sinuous burrows that contain segmented filling (Figs. 6D, H–K, 8 F, 11B). Burrows also have well-spaced arcuate menisci but lack walls. The annular ornamentation is rather pronounced and the burrow may be slightly flanged at one end. These traces have a width of 3–4mm and length up to 24 mm with partitioned packeting. All features observed here agree with the type ichnospecies T.serpentinum Heer.
Uchman, 2007a
Note. Menisci of T. serpentinum Heer (1877) are much more widely spaced.
