词条 | Pholad borings |
释义 |
Pholads are unusual bivalves capable of boring into various kinds of rock, firm clay and peat, and they live permanently in the burrows they create. These clams use a set of ridges or "teeth" on the outer anterior surfaces of their shells to grind into suitable substrate, creating a non-branching burrow. Pholad burrows are typically narrower at the entrance of the burrow than they are across the interior.[2] Ancient, sand-filled pholad borings are a distinctive type of trace fossil known as Gastrochaenolites that are found in some limestones, dolomites and lithified mudstones. They are assigned to the Trypanites ichnofacies,[3] and evidence submarine hardgrounds that formed soon after deposition, typically during episodes of non-sedimentation, with subsequent infilling of the burrow and burial when sedimentation resumed.[5] Pholad burrow trace fossils are not to be confused with specimens of the Trypanites ichnogenus, which are toothpick-sized masses of holes that characterize some hardgrounds. Trypanites probably result from a combination of mechanical abrasion and acid dissolution by the organism, whereas pholad borings are thought to be purely mechanical in origin.[6] See also
