Abstract
Collecting and analyzing semi-quantitative ichnological parameters such as size-diversity index and bioturbation intensity, can increase the resolution of paleoenvironmental analyses. Specialized software, PyCHNO, was designed to ease, improve, and standardize current ichnological data collection techniques. With PyCHNO, ichnological data derived from burrow diameter measurements, trace fossil identification (ichnogenus level), and bioturbation index are collected at a user-defined scale, and size-diversity index is calculated from these measurements. Data collected in PyCHNO, including size-diversity index, maximum burrow diameter, trace fossil diversity, trace fossil taxon abundance, and bioturbation index is easily exported as text files or plotted as PDF logs.
