Taxonomic remark Ichnogenus (fossil coprolite). From Knaust, 2020: Potential producer(s). C. melendezi was known only from its holotype and tiny fragments of two other specimens from the Middle Ordovician of the type area and is interpreted as the coprolite of a polychaete (Gutierrez Marco 1984). Reinspection of the holotype has shown that the meandering tube is densely packed with ovoid–spindle-shaped pellets (‘finely granular’ features) similar to the faecal strings of some gastropods (e.g. Strombus sp.; Manning & Kumpf 1959; Arakawa 1963; Bandel 1974). Given its position tightly coiled within the shell of a gastropod (Sinuites sp.), a cololite origin cannot be ruled out for Cilindrotomaculum. [details]
