Ruger9a Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Good morning folks. I just came across these "worm burrows" in one of my unidentified drawers. Can anyone provide more information that will help me in my researching effort. I purchased these at an estate sale about 15 years ago. Sorry, that's all I have. There are four different items with the largest measuring about 5cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Looks like Serpula, possibly Serpula sulcata. Nice specimens. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruger9a Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Thank You COCO.....! It's an exact match to the Vermetus species. It's actually their shell and not a tube! Wow, what a surprise - thank you again for your time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
