What is "ichnofauna"

n. fauna that leaves tracks, spoor, footprints etc

Ichnofauna is the diversity of fauna based on the ichnological ( tracks and footprints) evidences. This term is often used by vertebrate paleontologists.

Ichnofauna often uses parataxonomical names for tracks such as Deltapodus, Eubrontes, or Cruziana. Ichnofauna does not give a true content of the fauna assemblage, because of bias of preservation.
