This ichnofossils assemblage is dominantly preserved in fine to medium grained red sandstone beds of the Mohra Member（Nagaur Sandstone）. The presence of graded rip-up clasts, current ripples, dune crossstratification with mud drapes and tidal bundles indicates a subtidal paleoenvironment for the deposition of Nagaur Sandstone Formation, which is corroborated by the Cruziana ichnofacies trace fossil assemblage.展开更多
