Abstract

Scratchings, forming two partial scratch circles, surround a narrow, filled tube probably formed by a plant stem. The scratchings are interpreted to have formed as follows: Water currents carrying sediment onto a floodplain swirled around the plant leaves, etching out partial scratch circles on the sediment surface. Later settling of the finest material resulted in a veneer of mud filling the scratch circles. Drag marks on the bedding surface were formed by the same processes. Later drying of the mud resulted in the formation of desiccation cracks.
