Hi!
There are many examples of the use of ichnology in hydrocarbon reservoir studies.I'm interested if there are any examles of application of ichnology to theinterpretation of the rocks successions hosting VMS or even other types of metallic deposits (bathymetry,depositional enviroments,relationship of trace fossils development to the sedimentary basins with volcanic actyvity). I have one paper of Sainty R.A.(1992)Shallow-Water Stratigraphy at the Mount Chalmers Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulfide Deposit, Queensland, Australia. Maybe there is some more recent information?
Thanks

Dear Mrs. Berdize,
the ichnofacies has been dealt with and applied in many papers among others in some of mine. For the beginner who is not focussing on these trace fossils in their own rights but wants to use them as a tool for environment analysis like you some textbooks and charts may be helpful. The classical one I have mentioned.
Seilacher, A., 1967 Bathymetry of trace fossils. Marine Geology 5, 413-428.
There are many textbooks on sedimentology like Miall (sand), Selley (general), Porter et al. (shales) which have nice charts to use. For a more detailed interpretation you need to consult an expert.
As you mentioned VMS deposits you can exclude the littoral part and look for trace fossil describing the subtidal part of the marine environment. The latter is only a hint to reduce the number of possibilities.

Dear Syed!
Thanks for this link! This is what I'm looking for.And the region is the same,Georgia and Turkey are "geological" neighbours as well.
