The borings of Teredinidae in fossil wood of Taxodium distichum Gothan, 1906. Photographs of borings in fossil wood (Taxodium distichum Gothan, Miocene, Roztocze, Poland) were taken. The texture of the borings surface was analyzed. Moreover, photographs were taken of the surface texture of borings in makore wood (Tieghemella heckelii Pierre) from Africa after Teredinidae and after different species of insects in Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) for comparative purposes. The photographs were compared. The suspected wood borings in the studied fossil wood of T. distichum were made by mollusc (Teredinidae). |
