Taxonomic remark Originally described as alga, now an ichnogenus (fossil burrow). From Mekki et al., 2019: Zoophycos is a complex and still enigmatic trace fossil because of its variable morphology (Bromley & Hanken 2003; Olivero 2003; Knaust 2009; Zhang 2014). Zoophycos was initially named as a plant genus by Massalongo (1855). Olivero (2007) reviewed the specimens Massalango used to establish Zoophycos and proposed a paralectotype for the ichnogenus. ... Zoophycos is considered as a feeding burrow of worm-like deposit feeders (Bottjer et al. 1988; Olivero 2003). [details]
