Abstract
The spiral graphoglyptid trace fossil Spirorhaphe involuta (de Stefani, 1895) occurs in deep-water turbidites of the Maastrichtian-Lower Eocene Richmond Formation exposed in Dry River in eastern Jamaica. This is the first report of the ichnogenus from Jamaica, and the Caribbean region. The same location also yields examples of the ichnotaxa Helminthorhaphe flexuosa Uchman and Helminthopsis hieroglyphica Heer.
