It is found in marine and freshwater sediments.[1] Cruziana has been extensively studied because it has uses in biostratigraphy (specific scratch patterns are unique to specific time intervals),[1] and because the traces can reveal many aspects of their makers' behavior. Cruziana is typically associated with trilobites but can also made by other arthropods.[1] Cruziana appears in non-marine formations such as the Beacon Supergroup that would have been unsuitable environments for trilobites,[1] and in Triassic sediments that were deposited after trilobites became extinct at the end of the Permian Period.[2]Cruziana traces can reach 15 mm across and 15 cm in length, with one end usually deeper and wider than the other.[1] The burrow may begin or end with a resting trace[3] called Rusophycus, the outline of which corresponds roughly to the outline of the tracemaker, and with sculpture that may reveal the approximate number of legs, although striations (scratchmarks) from a single leg may overlap or be repeated. Cruziana tenella, and conceivably other ichnospecies, appears to have been formed by the concatenation of a series of Rusophycus traces, suggesting that Cruziana is a feeding trace, rather than a locomotory trace formed by burrowing within a layer of mud as historically believed.[4]The ichnogenus Diplichnites may be produced where the trackmaker sped up.{{cn|date=September 2018}} Several specimens of Cruziana are commonly found associated together at one sedimentary horizon, suggesting that the traces were made by populations of arthropods.[5] References1. ^{{Cite journal | last1 = Seilacher | first1 = A. | year = 1994 | title = How valid is Cruziana stratigraphy? | journal = Geologische Rundschau | volume = 83 | issue =4 | pages = 752–758 | bibcode = 1994GeoRu..83..752S | doi = 10.1007/BF00251073}} 2. ^{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1111/j.1502-3931.2009.00208.x| journal = Lethaia| pages = 283–284| year = 2010| title = Cruziana and Rusophycus: trace fossils produced by trilobites … in some cases?| volume = 43| last1 = Donovan | first1 = S.
