Thalassinoides

Thalassinoides is an ichnogenus of trace fossil (fossil records of lifeforms' movement, rather than of the lifeforms themselves) used to refer to "dichotomously or T-branched boxworks, mazes and shafts, unlined and unornamented".

[1]: 179  Facies of Thalassinoides increased suddenly in abundance at the beginning of the Mesozoic.

[1]: 251  Such burrows are made by a number of organisms, including the sea anemone Cerianthus, Balanoglossus and fishes, but are most closely associated with decapod crustaceans of the (former) infraorder Thalassinidea.
