Lower Cambrian trace fossils from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland

Abstract

Additional data on the Lower Cambrian ichnotaxa from the Holy Cross Mountains are presented. Nine ichnotaxa are described for the first time from the area, additional descriptions of three known ichnotaxa are supplied, and two ichnotaxa are shown to have extended stratigraphic ranges. Most Lower Cambrian trace fossils be long to the Cruziana ichnofacies. The high taxonomic diversity of the Early Cambrian trace fossil as semblages from the Holy Cross Mountains in comparison to the trace fossil assemblages of the Mid- and Late Cambrian of the area is confirmed.
