Swithland Formation
The Swithland Formation is a geologic formation in Leicestershire, and lies within the wider Swithland Wood and The Brand area. It preserves ichnotaxon dating back to the Cambrian period.
Paleobiota
The Swithland Formation preserves a lot of Cambrian ichnogenera, which are usually attributed to burrowing organisms like marine annelids. The most important one from this formation is Teichichnus, which was the first one found, and the one that proved this Brand Group was Cambrian in age, which also led to the discovery and research of a diorite unconformity between the Brand and Maplewell Groups.Ichnogenera
