Taxonomic remark Ichnogenus (fossil trace on bone). From Wisshak et al., 2019: Brutalichnus Mikuláš et al., 2006, with the type ichnospecies B. brutalis Mikuláš et al., 2006, was erected on irregular though intense cracks in bones. They were claimed to have been produced by a carnivorous animal but do not exhibit tooth traces. The breakage is at least as likely due to diagenetic effects such as compaction, i.e., the biogenic nature of the structure remains to be demonstrated. [details]
