Taxonomic remark Nomenclature for trace fossils (under their technical name ichnofossils) is governed under the zoological Code, as ichnogenus and ichnospecies names. As noted by Bertling et al., 2006, trace fossils originating from the actions of non-animal groups such as plants, fungi, algae, etc. may also be included here. 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. Current practice in IRMNG (which may change in future) is to treat "biological erosion traces" here (per, for example the treatment of Wisshak et al., 2019), but to treat fossil trackways under the higher taxonomy of their supposed makers (e.g. as Archnida, Reptilia, Aves, etc.).
