Jurassic saproxylic beetles

[DE&i]

The driftwood you see is locked in this calcite and shelly matrix from the Oxford Clay, Peterborough Formation. It is suggested there was landmass to the southeast of the Oxford Clay depositional area, known as the London-Brabant Massif, and that was the source of the driftwood that's found in the Oxford Clay.  

 

What's the chances of finding some borings of a Jurassic saproxylic beetle of some kind in the wood.

I’m not sure about the chances but I’ve never personally found any insect predation in any Mesozoic fossil wood.

Thank you for looking @Pterygotusit's certainly an interesting challenge.

That's very easy to calculate.  In this particular case the chance is 100%.  Very neat find.

@grandpa no success with that piece I'm afraid, but do have a larger piece to go at. What types (species) of Jurassic insect do you think I could find.
