Genus
Taotieichnus Xing, Roberts, Harris, Gingras, Ran, Zhang, Xu, Burns et Dong, 2013
Taxon description
Xing et al., 2013
Diagnosis: Epichnia, convex burrows (Fig. 7A) with dilated parts considered to be chambers (Fig. 7B). Traces columnar, branching, convex, with Y-shaped branches (Fig. 7C). Traces wind around the surfaces of the bones. At junctions other than Y-shaped branches, traces overlap rather than intersect directly (Fig. 7D). Surface texture rough. Traces hollow with thin mud constructed walls and cement infilled.
