Abstract：The Fourth International Congress on Ichnology was held at the UNESCO Naturtejo Global Geopark,Idanha-a-Nova,Portugal during May 6-9,2016. Based on the oral presentations,posters,abstracts and field study,the palaeobiology of trace fossils,and trace fossils and sedimentary environment analysis are the current topic research areas. The application of new conceptual tools and methods,especially the multidisciplinary ideas will greatly promote the development of ichnology. Comparison shows that ichnologists in China rarely focus on ichnotaxonomy,continental trace fossils and neoichnology. The authors suggest that three breakthrough directions possibly come from more attentions paid to trace fossils in biotic and environmental events,neoichnology,and reptile tracks and avialan footprints.
