Abstract
⺠We describe paleosols and ichnofossils from the Late Pennsylvanian Conemaugh Group. ⺠We differentiate four different pedotypes and four associated ichnocoenoses. ⺠Paleosol properties are variable both vertically and laterally across the study area. ⺠Soil biota plays a major role in Late Pennsylvanian soil formation. ⺠Local rather than regional processes control paleosol properties in the study area.
