Rosselia isp.


Description: Rosselia is a vertically oriented burrow that shows concentric cone-in-cone structure inside the burrow; the burrow markedly constricts in a downward direction. Rosselia is interpreted as a dwelling burrow where a sessile animal moved its burrow upward as an equilibrium response to sedimentation.
