Cosmorhaphe
Trace fossil classification
Ichnogenus:	Cosmorhaphe; Fuchs, 1895

Cosmorhaphe is an ichnogenus representing grazing feeding behavior (pascichnia).[1]

The Renaissance naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi discussed and described a specimen of Cosmorhaphe, which is therefore among the first fossils to be illustrated[2][3]
