Taxonomic remark Ichnogenus (fossil coprolite). From Knaust, 2020: Potential producer(s). The peculiar shape and appearance of the Spirodesmos aggregates on the bedding surface has challenged its interpretation. While early workers recognized similarities with gastropod spawn (Andree 1920; Huckriede 1952), their nature as faecal strings became obvious on comparison with similar spiral-shaped strings of enteropneusts photographed in the modern deep sea (Horn 1989; Seilacher 2007).
