The code and software to identify putative trace makers of horizontal trace fossils: Palaeontology

These are the code ("CurveGithub.m") and the free software ("Curvesoftware.exe") that help you identify putative trace makers of horizontal trace fossils with frequency spectrum and autocorrelation function. You can also use it to study the frequency and size of self-repeating patterns in a horizontal trace. You can use the metrics to quantify ichnotaxonomy as well. An example of the coordinates of a horizontal trace is "A curve-Github.txt", which is output from Getdata Graph Digitizer, with the first describing sentence in the output file removed, leaving cooridnates only. Zero-value is not allowed in the coordinates. The paper is published in Palaeontology, with doi: 10.1111/pala.12686,.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/pala.12686
