Taxonomic remark This category retained for trace fossils not yet allocated to any particular higher taxon (of their maker); as the latter are identified, individual genera are moved to relevant phyla, classes, orders, etc. Nomenclature for trace fossils (under their technical name ichnofossils) is governed under the zoological Code, as ichnogenus and ichnospecies names. In rare cases where the trace fossil is preserved in association with its producer, it is still appropriate to name the trace fossil separately from the biological taxon that appears to have produced it.
