Genus
Linckichnus Schlirf , 2006
Taxon description
Wisshak et al., 2019a
Macroboring; substrate xylic; tracemaker invertebrate
Schlirf, 2006a
Diagnosis: Smooth, test-tube shaped, unbranched, slightly kink-bent, cylindrical structures, with circular openings and hemispherical terminations, dominantly perpendicular to the grain of the woody substrate and parallel to each other. Fill massive.
Teredolites as described by Kelly & Bromley (1984) differs from the proposed new ichnogenus in having a clavate shape. Linckichnus n. ig., by contrast, is cylindrical and occurs in poorly lignified plant substrate.
Buatois et al., 2017
Category of architectural design: 2.59. Cylindrical vertical to oblique borings.
Knaust, 2012a
Unbranched, cylindrical.
