Current crescents genetically linked to exposed heads of the passively filled mud-lined tunneled crustacean burrows on the sandy substrate are being reported from the upper shelf sediments of glacio-marine Talchir Formation (Permo-Carboniferous), Raniganj Basin, Eastern India. Such burrow-linked current crescents may be used as a tool for the identification of sedimentary environment and its energy condition.
