Species
Rusophycus inexpectus Sadlok, 2014
Taxon description
Sadlok, 2014b
Diagnosis: Rusophycus with two heart-shaped lobes and with a smooth trapezoidal area behind those lobes. The lobes are connected with elongated imprints laterally and meet medially, forming a groove which becomes a deeper depression toward one end of the trace fossil. The depression forms a V-shaped gap in the frontal part of the lobes. The extent of the lobes corresponds with the extent of elongated lateral imprints. The lobe-covering ridges (scratches) have divergent patterns and in deep undertraces a “moustache-like” pattern is apparent.
