During the Devonian, the Gondwana occupied areas close to the South Pole and hosted many epicontinental seas, with a benthic fauna dominated by brachiopods. Due to the limited preservation of chronostratigraphic markers (e.g. conodonts and graptolites) on this paleocontinent, the study of ichnology...
