Taxonomic remark Ichnogenus (fossil coprolite). From Knaust, 2020: Rhizocorallites was originally regarded as ‘Stopftunnel’, following Seilacher’s interpretation (Müller 1955). The active and segmented fill of it resembles the burrow Taenidium, to which it was attributed (e.g. Müller 1956; Linck 1961; Häntzschel 1962, 1975). An alternative interpretation of its origin is as a faecal string or, even more likely, as an intestine cast of a decayed holothurian (Knaust 2019; Knaust & Hagdorn in press). [details]
