Coco Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hi, Probably predation marks from a gastropod or other drilling animal.

Rockwood Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think things (boring sponge perhaps) lived in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm also pretty sure that boring sponges were responsible for these holes. They are dependent on calciferous substrat for establishing their home base. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

TqB Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I agree it's probably sponges, typically Cliona, which lived in the rostrum post-mortem. Edited September 14, 2020 by TqB 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
