Genus

Tremichnus Brett, 1985

Taxon description

Wisshak et al., 2019a

Macroboring; substrate calcareous; tracemaker invertebrate

Buatois et al., 2017

Category of architectural design: 2.63. Circular holes and pit-shaped borings.

Knaust, 2012a

Unbranched, circular, bioerosional trace.

Wisshak et al., 2015

Emended diagnosis. Circular pits, generally wider than deep, perpendicularly bored into ossicles of echinoderms.

Brett, 1985

Circular pits or embedment structures of varying diameter (about 0.1 to 4.0 mm) occurring on the plates of echinoderms, primarily crinoids, with or with out associated thickening or gall-like deformation of the plates. Pits regularly parabolic in cross section, with diameter/depth ratios variable from about 0.1–1.0; no internal expansion or other ramifications. Holes always oriented perpendicularly to external plate surfaces, tapering in ward; generally not penetrating through plates. Adjacent pits
may over lap one an other.
