Lamonte trevallis is an ichnospecies from the late Ediacaran sediments of the Yangtze Gorges of Southern China. [1] It represented fairly large traces that indicate burrowing behaviour.[2][3] It had Millimetre-sized traces preserved differently than other Ichnofossils from that time period.[1] Surface-dwelling trackways, vertical burrows and horizontal tunnels are a common characteristic of the trace fossil.
