英文摘要 | Morphologically complex trace fossils, recording the infaunal activities of bilaterian animals, are common in Phanerozoic successions but rare in the Ediacaran fossil record. Here, we describe a trace fossil assemblage from the lower Dunfee Member of the Deep Spring Formation at Mount Dunfee (Nevada, USA), over 500 m below the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary. Although millimetric in scale and largely not fabric-disruptive, the Dunfee assemblage includes complex and sediment-penetrative trace fossil morphologies that are characteristic of Cambrian deposits. The Dunfee assemblage records one of the oldest documented instances of sediment-penetrative infaunalization, corroborating previous molecular, ichnologic, and paleoecological data suggesting that crown-group bilaterians and bilaterian-style ecologies were present in late Ediacaran shallow marine ecosystems. Moreover, Dunfee trace fossils co-occur with classic upper Ediacaran tubular body fossils in multiple horizons, indicating that Ediacaran infauna and epifauna coexisted and likely formed stable ecosystems. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd |
