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).
