词条 | Teredolites |
释义 |
Teredolites is an ichnogenus of trace fossil, characterized by borings in wood. Clavate (club-shaped) structures rimming mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber from Myanmar, previously misdiagnosed as fungal sporocarps, have recently been shown to be domichnia (crypts) of martesiine bivalves (Pholadidae: Martesiinae), comparable with Teredolites clavatus Leymerie, 1842 and Gastrochaenolites lapidicus Kelly & Bromley, 1984.[1] The substrate was not wood, but amber, hence the term Amberground was coined.
