This template is used to create infoboxes for trace fossil taxa (ichnotaxa). See Trace fossil classification for more information.

- Subspeciesbox – for an animal subspecies
- Infraspeciesbox – for a plant subspecies or variety
- Hybridbox – for an animal hybrid within a genus
- Ichnobox – for a trace fossil
- Oobox – for a fossil egg
- Virusbox – for viruses and non-cellular life
- Paraphyletic group – for concepts that do not correspond to a monophyletic clade
- Population taxobox - for notable populations of subspecies of animals
Usage[edit]
This template operates in a similar manner to Template:Automatic taxobox. Please see that template for general usage instructions.
There is no equivalent of {{Speciesbox}} for ichnospecies; almost all articles are about ichnogenera and ichnofamilies.
The top-level taxon for ichnotaxa - i.e. the parent for ichnotaxa that have no higher classification - is "Ichnos".
