System: Ordovician.
Floor: Katense.
Formation: Thiouririne Superior.
Origin: Erfoud, Tafilalt, Morocco.
Plate measurements: 16 cm x 10.3 cm
worm tracks consisting of sinuous horizontal burrows that are composed of densely aligned, inclined gnarled sediment aggregates that appear along the upper bedding plane as characteristic bead chains. These large burrows can be assigned to Neoeione moniliformis and probably originated from the probing activity of a deposit-feeding animal.
N. moniliformis was originally described in the Carboniferous of the United Kingdom (Boyd and McIlroy, 2018), and the presence in the Ordovician of Morocco is one of the oldest records of this ichnotaxon.
