Abstract

Fosilni tragovi (ihnofosili) su geološki zapisi biološke aktivnosti. Tragovi kretanja se razlikuju od tjelesnih fosila, koji su fosilizirani ostaci dijelova tijela organizama. Fosilni tragovi mogu biti otisci na podlozi, jazbine, ukopine, strugotine od bušenja (bioerozija), otisci, tragovi hranjenja, šupljine u korijenu itd. Znanost koja proučava fosilne tragove se naziva ihnologija. U Hrvatskoj, u stijenama Velebita na području Ričice nalazimo nekoliko tipova fosilnih tragova koji starošću odgovaraju razdoblju gornjeg Karbona. Razlikujemo fosilne tragove koje možemo svrstati u skupine Repichnia, Pascichnia, Domichnia. Određene fosilne tragove na ovom području možemo gledati i kao kombinaciju određenih skupina (npr. Repichnia i Pascichnia).

Abstract (english)

Trace fossils (or ichnofossils) are geological records of biological activity. Trace fossils contrast with body fossils, which are the fossilized remains of parts of organisms' bodies. Trace fossils may be impressions, burrows, borings (bioerosion), footprints, feeding marks and root cavities. The study of traces is called ichnology. In Croatia, trace fossils in Upper Carboniferous' rocks of Velebit Mt. (Ričice) can be found in several types. They can be divided in to Repichnia, Pascichnia, Domichnia groups. Some can be identified as a combination of two groups (for example Repichnia and Pascichnia).
