MORPHOLOGIC VARIATIONS OF THE TRACE FOSSIL <em>RUTICHNUS</em> IN CM-THICK TURBIDITES FROM THE VERGHERETO FORMATION (NORTHERN APENNINES, ITALY)

MORPHOLOGIC VARIATIONS OF THE TRACE FOSSIL <em>RUTICHNUS</em> IN CM-THICK TURBIDITES FROM THE VERGHERETO FORMATION (NORTHERN APENNINES, ITALY)

The analysis of 56 specimens of the branched, walled post-depositional trace fossil Rutichnus, sampled from 31 thin-bedded, overbank turbidites from the Verghereto Formation, Romagna Apennines, indicates high morphologic variability of this ichnotaxon in hypichnial preservation. The variability conc...
