(types A and B), G luckstadtella cooperi Savage, Hexapodichnus horrens Hitchcock, Monomorphich nus cf. lineatus Crimes ef al., Protichnites cf. carbonarius Dawson, Protic hnites cf. kennediea (Smith), Protichnites cf. scoticus Salter, Protichnite s cf. variabilis (Linck), Protichnites isp. (types A, B, C, and D), Stialli a cf. pilosa Smith, Appendage Marks (types A and B), an "Arthropod Resting" Trace, Horn-shaped Surface Traces, and Vertebrate Trackways (types A, B, C , D, E, and F).
