A new assemblage of nests produced by social insects is described from the Brushy Basin Member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation (Utah, United States) by Smith, Loewen & Kirkland (2020), who name a new ichnotaxon Eopolis ekdalei. The nests are attributed to soil dwelling social termites, suggesting an early Jurassic transition to ground nesting in arid areas for the group.{{Cite journal|author1=Elliott Armour Smith |author2=Mark A.
