Photograph showing section detail and various trace fossils identified from various beds. White scale bar on right bottom of photo = 1 cm. a Section near check dam showing gently dipping sandstone beds. Arrow indicates position of the Guneri Trigonia band. b Bedding plan view of the Guneri Trigonia band showing convex up disarticulated shells of Trigonia. c Heavily bioturbated siltstones (Po Polykladichnus, Sk Skolithos). Hammer length = 30 cm. d Epirelief preservation of Ophiomorpha nodosa in the bioturbated siltstone lithofacies. e Bedding plan view of trace fossils from the bioturbated marl lithofacies (Te Teichichnus, Z Zoophycos) note the cross-cutting relation of two trace fossils. f Ichnofabric as seen in vertical section, in medium-grained sandstone facies (Ar Arenicolites, Po Polykladichnus, Sk Skolithos), note all traces are vertically oriented. g Horizontal network (bedding plan view) of 3D burrows Thalassinoides; note that the burrow margins are ferruginised. h Bedding plan view of Rhizocorallium in medium-grained sandstone facies. i Inclined Palaeophycus heberti in bioturbated medium-grained sandstone
