Rusophycus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rusophycus is a trace fossil allied to Cruziana.[1] Rusophycus is the resting trace, recording the outline of the tracemaker; Cruziana is made when the organism moved. Both are typically associated with trilobites but also made by other arthropods.
