Abstract

A new ichnospecies, Gordia nodosa isp. nov., is figured and described from member D of the Cass Fjord Formation of Daugaard-Jensen Land, western North Greenland. Strata of Member D are Dresbachian in age and thus the new trace fossil is from the latest Middle Cambrian or earliest Late Cambrian. Two additional stabs from underlying members B and C of the Formation contain, respectively, the ichnotaxa Diplichnites Dawson, 1873, cf. Monocraterion Torell, 1870 and Palaeophycus tubularis, Hall, 1847, and Cruziana problematica (Schindewolf, 1921). These ichnotaxa are figured and described briefly.
