# Data from: A review of the glacial environment arthropod trace fossils Umfolozia and Warvichnium with the description of new ichnotaxa *** The data was collected from previous publications (listed below) and new material collected samples that are housed in the Coleo Arqueolgica e Paleontolgica (CAP) at the Federal University of So Carlos (UFSCar Sorocaba campus, So Paulo, Brazil) at the Laboratrio de Paleobiologia e Astrobiologia (LPA) under codes CAP/1D- and CAP/1H-. We processed the data using Zeiss ZEN 3.5 Lite (Blue Edition) software and later in RStudio. References used: [1] Walter, H., 1985. Zur Ichnologie des Pleistozns von Liebegast. Freib.
