Taxonomic remark Ichnogenus, comprising "wrinkle-like structures". Originally described as a fossil sponge; a pseudofossil according to Häntzschel, 1975, but accepted as a trace fossil by Retallack & Broz, 2020. These authors state: Neantia rhedonensis is similar to skeins of cyanobacterial mats seen in modern dried ponds and creeks (Retallack 2012), and the three-dimensional shape of the one figured here is like a microbial mat rollup (Beraldi-Campesi and Garcia-Pichel 2011). This rollup form is evidence against Cloud’s (1968) opinion that Neantia was a ripple mark. Seilacher (2007) illustrates an example under a carbonaceous film which he interprets as a microbial mat. Lebesconte (1887) considered it was a colonial animal, perhaps hydroid or cnidarian. [details]
