<em>Estrellichnus jacaensis</em> from the Eocene Jaca Basin of NE Spain: new locality and new ethological interpretation
New occurrences of Estrellichnus jacaensis in the deep‐marine turbidite deposits of the Eocene Hecho Group (Fiscal, Huesca, NE Spain) are described. Most of them include specimens preserved as 'urban fossils' located in several villages of the south‐central Pyrenees. Well‐preserved morphol...

| Sumario: | New occurrences of Estrellichnus jacaensis in the deep‐marine turbidite deposits of the Eocene Hecho Group (Fiscal, Huesca, NE Spain) are described. Most of them include specimens preserved as 'urban fossils' located in several villages of the south‐central Pyrenees. Well‐preserved morphological features of the new specimens studied and their interactions with accompanying ichnotaxa allow reinterpreting the constructional process and functional significance of Estrellichnus and its rejection as a graphoglyptid. The comparison of this ichnogenus with lebensspuren recorded in oceans and seas around the world has allowed finding a plausible current analogue and proposing a likely tracemaker. |
