Abstract

A floodplain siltstone of the Permian Mt. Glossopteris Formation (Mercer Ridge, Ohio Range, Antarctica) contained a new vermiform trace fossil (trail). Cochlichnus antarcticus n. sp. is described and figured. This find establishes a second trace fossil zone that is higher in the formation than the basal invertebrate spoor fossils (trails, burrows) reported by Long.
