Taxonomic remark Ichnogenus (fossil coprolite). From Knaust, 2020: Microcarpolithes Vangerow, 1954 was introduced to describe the seeds and fruits of angiosperm plants, with a very broad and inapplicable definition (Friis 1983). M. hexagonalis was designated as the type species of Microcarpolithes by Hall (1963), which then was recognized as coprolites (Knobloch 1970, 1971) of insects (Knobloch 1977), particularly of termites.
