400 Million Years Old Fish Trails

On your usual hiking trail you may find a lot of animal tracks but trackways of fish would be very unusual. Fish belong in water anyway. And fish trails in water are short-lived unless they are left in the sediment by animals swimming close to the sediment surface. Then, the fish fin can leave a sinusoidal wave like a snake on land would do. Can you imagine that such wavy patterns at the bottom of a river could be preserved for over 400 million years? That's what scientists think they have found in a sandstone formation in Southwest Wales.

This discovery of Devonian trails include trackways of fish and arthropods. Did the fish fed on those arthropods? A Devonian ecosystem is coming alive!
