Ichnofabric

Workshops

The International Workshop on Ichnofabric was originally focused on developing applications of the ichnofabric concept. The meeting has since diversified into all aspects of ichnology, but still attracts more than its share of attendees who work on cores and facies, where the ichnofabric concept has proved to be particularly useful.
