The first evidence of trace fossils and pseudo-fossils in the continental interlava volcaniclastic sediments on the Faroe Islands

Interlava volcaniclastic sediments, mostly sandstones, from the Palaeogene Faroe Islands Basalt Group (Malinstindur and Sneis Formations) contain rare ichnofauna and well-preserved pseudofossils in the form of linear structures. Five specimens of two ichnogenera have been identified, which include H...
