Taxon description
Wisshak et al., 2019a
Diagnosis: Originally defned as ‘microborings having a rosetted or incompletely rosetted (i.e., fan-shaped) morphology, with or without a central or marginal main chamber’, slightly revised here to: dendritic or rosetted to fan-shaped borings, with or without a central or marginal main chamber.
Ethological category: Domichnia (dwelling traces), fodinichnia? (combined dwelling and feeding traces)
