Species

Apectoichnus longissimus (Kelly et Bromley, 1984)

Taxon description

Melnyk et al., 2020 (for 2021)

Diagnosis/description: Elongate, curved to contorted borings with circular cross sections and relatively constant diameter

Donovan, 2018

Diagnosis. Elongate borings, commonly circular in section, smooth-sided, straight or sinuous to contorted and intertwined, with or without a calcareous lining. The boring may change direction and cause a constriction of the tube but tubes are commonly of more or less constant diameter. May be solitary or gregarious.

Discussion. For discussion of the relevance of calcareous lining to ichnotaxonomy, see Donovan (2002).
