BuddingPaleo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Found 2 of these, identical in size, in sw Florida. What the heck are the wormy things? Is it internal bits, or worm casts? It's really hard to find online because I lack the terms to use to search effectively. Really appreciate all your amazing help lately. Hopefully I don't get the boot for too many questions! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It looks like a sponge boring that has filled with sediment and lithified, probably Cliona. The shell that it bored into has dissolved away. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
