Abstract

Fluvial deposits of the uppermost Stockton Formation (Late Triassic), west-central New Jersey have yielded the trace fossils Cruziana tenella and Helminthopsis isp. The ichnotaxa belong to the Scoyenia ichnofacies. On the basis of stratification and primary sedimentary structures, the beds are interpreted as deposits in a meandering stream environment. Worm-like forms, nematodes, notostracans, myriapods, and arthropods are probably responsible for most of the animal traces in moist or wet channel and point bar sediments subject to aerial exposure.
