The first Mesozoic vertebrate coprolites from Algeria
Abstract Nine morphotypes of coprolites, including Heteropolacopros texaniensis, Liassocopros isp., Hyronocopros amphipola, Eucoprus isp. 1, Eucoprus isp. 2, Morphotype 1, Morphotype 2, Morphotype 3, and Morphotype 4, are distinguished from the basal Late Cretaceous (Lower Cenomanian) of the ‘Continental Intercalaire’ deposits at Gara Samani (Sahara, southern Algeria). This coprofauna is the first to be identified, described and illustrated from the Mesozoic of Algeria. It adds new information on the trace-fossil assemblages previously reported from the Cretaceous localities of North Africa. The Gara Samani coproassociation marks the youngest occurrence of the ichnogenera Heteropolacopros and Hyronocopros. Most coprolites were produced by ichthyophagous carnivores, such as crocodiles, theropods (Spinosaurus) and different kinds of fish.
期刊介绍：
The foremost aim of Ichnos is to promote excellence in ichnologic research. Primary emphases center upon the ethologic and ecologic significance of tracemaking organisms; organism-substrate interrelationships; and the role of biogenic processes in environmental reconstruction, sediment dynamics, sequence or event stratigraphy, biogeochemistry, and sedimentary diagenesis. Each contribution rests upon a firm taxonomic foundation, although papers dealing solely with systematics and nomenclature may have less priority than those dealing with conceptual and interpretive aspects of ichnology. Contributions from biologists and geologists are equally welcome.
The format for Ichnos is designed to accommodate several types of manuscripts, including Research Articles (comprehensive articles dealing with original, fundamental research in ichnology), and Short Communications (short, succinct papers treating certain aspects of the history of ichnology, book reviews, news and notes, or invited comments dealing with current or contentious issues). The large page size and two-column format lend flexibility to the design of tables and illustrations. Thorough but timely reviews and rapid publication of manuscripts are integral parts of the process.
