Cubiculum ornatum Roberts, Rogers et Foreman, 2007

Taxon description

Roberts et al., 2007

Diagnosis: Discrete ovoid borings in bone. Hollow, oval chambers with concave flanks bored into inner spongy and outer cortical bone surfaces. Chamber length three to four times greater than diameter. May be isolated, but observed more commonly in dense, sometimes overlapping concentrations. Walls roughened commonly, composed of shallow, arcuate (apparently paired) grooves.

Höpner & Bertling, 2017

Diagnosis: Chambers three to five times longer than wide, straight or slightly bent terminally.
