Abstract

In this paper, preliminary ichnological observations have been performed in the Pleistocene (Calabrian) arenites, outcropping nearby the village of Bombile (Calabria, Southern Italy). These deposits show an intense and pervasive bioturbation, the study of which allowed the identification of at least fi ve ichnogenera: Bichordites, Macaronichnus, Thalassinoides, Ophiomorpha and Conichnus.
