Ichnofauna Explained

Ichnofauna is the diversity of fauna based on the ichnological (tracks and footprints) evidences. This term is often used by vertebrate paleontologists.^{[1] [2]}

Ichnofauna often uses parataxonomical names for tracks such as Deltapodus, Eubrontes, or Cruziana. Ichnofauna does not give a true content of the fauna assemblage, because of bias of preservation.
