Fugichnia is an ethological class of trace fossil characterized as "escape burrows" that are formed as a result of organisms' attempts to escape burial in sudden high-sedimentation events like turbidity currents.[1] The burrows are often marked with chevron patterns showing the upward direction the organisms were tunneling.
