Gotta like petrified attacks woodman. Probably more of a challenge to find them in wood.
Where is that worm ?
Shells and coral leave lots of such evidence.

Check out this tumble polished pet oyster for example. Sponge borings:

A large percentage of the pet oysters found at this site have sponge damage

It seems to more of an agate. I tried chipping it and it did not chip easily like the opalized wood I have. Also it is pretty heavy for its size.

About a quarter of the coral I saw from one river is riddled with clam borings.
Similar boring clams exist today. I believe they kill the coral.
I have yet to saw a coral and find one of these clams imbedded and petrified.
A clam having a higher likelihood of being petrified than other more fleshy organisms.
But no such luck.

This is a coral, and the two tapered holes are the terminus long borings. When will a clam be found ?

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
