Abstract

Plug-shaped ichnofossils Conichnus conicus, Conostichus broadheadiand C. stouti are found in the intercalated micriticsandstone and sandy allochemic limestone shale sequence of Bagh Group, Narmada district, Gujarat. These ichnospecies occur at two stratigraphic levels and show distinct morphologicalfeatures interpreted as resting/dwelling structures of sea anemone. The occurrence of these ichnospecies along with oyster fossils genera like Bosostrea and Indostrea indicate shallow marine environment.
