Biology:Bergaueria

From HandWiki

Bergaueria is an Ediacaran[1]–Miocene[2] trace fossil believed to represent the dwelling trace of Cnidarians (Actinia – sea anemones).[3] It likely caused mixing and fluid exchange into the sediment (bioirrigation).[4] Similar traces (Cheiichnus) can be made by rotational movement of arthropods.[5]
