Abstract

The ichnogenus Protovirgularia McCoy, 1850 is reported from nonmarine strata of the Cretaceous Jinju Formation of the Sacheon area Korea. There, the Jinju Formation is composed mainly of fine-grained sandstone, grey to brownish grey mudstone, and shale which were deposited in a freshwater lacustrine environment. This occurrence represents the fist formal recording of the ichnotaxon from Korea and the first, on a global basis, from a nonmarine depositional environment.

경상남도 사천 지역에 분포한 백악기 진주층의 비해성(非海成) 퇴적층에서 생흔화석 Protovirgularia McCoy, 1850를 보고한다. 이 지역의 진주층은 주로 호수 환경에서 퇴적된 회색의 이암과 셰일 및 세립질 사암으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 Protovirgularia의 산출은 비해성 퇴적 환경에서 처음으로 보고되는 것이다.
