Marvellous Maastrichtian miners – bioerosional trace fossils as natural casts from the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage, the Netherlands
Keywords:
Ichnofossils, ichnotaxonomy, Late Cretaceous, Entobia ichnofacies, preservation, successive colonisation
Abstract
Over recent decades, the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage in southern Limburg (the Netherlands) and contiguous Belgian territory, and the former ENCI-HeidelbergCement Group quarry (Sint-Pietersberg, Maastricht) in particular, has yielded an exquisitely preserved ichnocoenosis of bioerosional trace fossils, mainly preserved as natural casts in scleractinian corals. More than 20 ichnospecies are here documented, the majority from the type Maastrichtian for the first time. These ichnotaxa constitute a good record of successive colonisation sequences; the present bioerosional ichnocoenosis is regarded to belong to the Entobia ichnofacies.
