Abstract
Modern abyssal organism traces were investigated in bottom photographs and box cores collected on Ontong Java Plateau, western equatorial Pacific, in water depths of 1597–4441 m. All the sediments were highly burrowed, white to medium brown, calcareous nannofosil ooze. Trails of echinoids and holothuroids and also surface traces resembling Glockeria were recognized in the photographs. The box cores contained specimens of Chondrites, Planolites, Skolithos, Spiroraphe, Teichichnus and ? Zoophycos. Bioturbation at this locality is intense, and so surface trails and other features appear to be destroyed following burial by the activity of infaunal burrowers.
