Gastrochaenolites Leymerie, 1842
Taxon description
Wisshak et al., 2019a
Macroboring; substrate calcareous; tracemaker invertebrate
Buatois et al., 2017
Category of architectural design: 2.66. Clavate-shaped borings.
Knaust, 2012a
Unbranched, clavate.
Taylor & Wilson, 2003
Remark: Clavate borings; aperture narrower than main chamber and may be circular, oval, or dumb-bell shaped; main chamber may vary from subspherical to elongate. Usually made by bivalves which may be preserved in situ (see Savazzi, 1999b).
Ekdale & Bromley, 2001a
Diagnosis. – Club-shaped macroborings (see emended diagnosis in Kelly & Bromley 1984).
