Al Dente Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Not a sponge but the holes are cause by a boring sponge, I think Cliona is the name of the boring sponge. The part you are holding is the center of a gastropod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guguita2104 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I love poriferans! That's entobia (Clionaid sponges eroded a gastropod shell element- a process called bioerosion),IMO . Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
