Four groups were originally identified (the Skolithos, Cruziana, Zoophycos, and Nereites ichnofacies--following Bromley 1996, we do not italicize ichnofacies).
However, in the marine realm, Bromley and Asgaard (1991) considered the Nereites ichnofacies to comprise a Zoophycos ichnofacies, and one or more as yet unnamed graphoglyptid ichnofacies.
Buatois and Mangano (1998) considered it the nonmarine equivalent of the Cruziana-, Zoophycos-, and Nereites ichnofacies in its environmental context, whereas Bromley (1996) considered it only equivalent to the Nereites ichnofacies.
