[Taxacom] Zoological genus names - pseudofossils

[Tony Rees]

Hi all,

As part of the quality control for the Interim Register of Marine and
Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) I am interested in noting published genus names
that have since been proposed to be pseudofossils, so that I can remove
them from categories where they would otherwise appear to be accepted names
within legitimate higher taxa. I note the following statement from a
chapter on "Pseudo-Traces" within the 2007 book "Trace Fossil Analysis":

"The last edition of the *Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology*, part W,
lists 245 ichnogenera and no less than 76 “genera” of pseudofossils (not
counting synonyms)"

If anyone can send me either a scan or a transcription of the cited list I
would greatly appreciate it... (I will be interested in synonyms as well as
valid names). Otherwise I would be pleased to know if there are other lists
of names currently regarded as pseudofossils in existence so I can check
off the names therein against my own list.

Thanks in advance - Tony
