Taxonomic remark Originally described as an alga; a pseudofossil according to Häntzschel, 1975, but treated as a valid genus (microbial ichnogenus) of trace fossils by Retallack & Broz, 2020. These authors state: Comparable modern textures are known from biological soil crusts, and although microbial mats can be torn and disrupted by waterplant growth and grazing, disrupted microbial mats show flakes, rollups, and draped skeins (Noffke 2010), unlike the compact and complex cracking and healing of Rivularites repertus (Retallack 2012).
