Derived Skolithos pipe rock in the Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds (Early Triassic, East Devon, UK)

Quartzite clasts preserving a Skolithos burrow ichnofabric are described from the Early Triassic fluvial Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds at Budleigh Salterton, East Devon, south-west England. Representing typical Skolithos pipe rock, the clasts are provenanced with a high degree of confidence to the Ordovician of the Armorican Massif, north-west France. The tubiform biogenic structure Trachyderma serrata Salter, earlier described and documented from quartzite clasts at Budleigh Salterton and in the English Midlands, represents an atypical preservational mode of the ichnogenus Skolithos.
