Trace fossils observed through 50 exposures across the locality 1 (the Merzeghellal section) were examined and photographed in the field, while 82 samples containing Paleodictyon and Cardioichnus with some other graphoglyptids and other trace fossils were collected and stored in the Laboratory of Geology du Sahara (LGS), …Although the Paleodictyon-producing animal remains unknown, Paleodictyon has been suggested as a biogenic sedimentary structure by a single or colonial burrower (Wetzel, 2000), farming trace ...Seilacher sees Paleodictyon is an especially complex member of a group of fossils called graphoglyptids, which palaeontologists believe are all burrows. They come in a dizzying array of shapes and patterns, including hexagons, spirals and tree-like structures (there's a nice paper showing the range of graphoglyptids here ).

Paleodictyon also preserves vertically ascending tubules that have been likened to those of Occultammina. However, this relationship has been contested. The large size (up to 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in)) of some Paleodictyon is unknown in modern Occultammina; the regular hexagonal pattern of Paleodictyon is similarly not represented in Occultammina.

Lan and Chen have recorded Paleodictyon from a near shore paleo-environmental setting in the Guadalupian of the Carnarvon Basin; Western Australia. Similar traces are also discernible in modern deep seas .

The tubes resemble some of the polygonal networks of the trace fossil Paleodictyon. (Seilacher 1977;Uchman2003). Modern Paleodictyon traces resembling these were first photographed on the seabed at the Mid-AtlanticRidge(MAR)byRonaandMerrill(1978)andhave been assigned to the Eocene species Paleodictyon nodosum (Seilacher 1977;Ekdale1980;Ronaetal.2009).Boththefossil and modern forms are known only from deep-sea sediments,Jan 15, 2011 · Paleodictyon.

Paleodictyon is the name for a net-like pattern found in the marine fossil record, starting in the Late Precambrian/Early Cambrian (~541 mya). Formed from thin tubes in seafloor sediment, each element of the mesh is around 1-3cm in diameter (0.4-1.1″), with entire networks covering areas of up to a square meter (10.7ft²).Trace fossil assemblages are commonly found on the slope include: Chondrites, Helminthoida, Paleodictyon, Planolites, Teichichnus, and Zoophycos.eg: Paleodictyon(Scholle et al., 1983) This bioturbation is also an important factor that alos affects the preservation potential of trace and body fossils.

It's not Paleodictyon as it is a body fossil, not a trace fossil. It's also likely not a scleractinian coral as the septa in the habit appear to have bilateral symmetry (dominated by a single set) instead of radial symmetry. So I would say this is a colonial rugose coral. Steve_Hufnagel • 5 mo. ago. Thank you!There have been specimens of Paleodictyon discovered dating back to the Cambrian Period, 542 million to 488 million years ago.
