The ichnofabric index is a method used to quantify the degree of bioturbation in a sedimentary rock. It involved grading the amount of trace fossil activity on a scale of 1–5; a value of 1 indicates that bioturbation is entirely absent, whereas the highest grade would involve a bedding plane containing over 60% trace fossil cover.[1]
