Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. Hantzschel 1975Clavate borings in lithic substrates. The apertural region of the boring is narrower than the main chamber and may be circular, oval, or dumb-bell shaped. The aperture may be separated from the main chamber by a neck region which in some cases may be widely flared. The main chamber may vary from subspherical to elongate, having a parabolic to rounded truncated bas and a circular to oval cross section, modified in some forms by a longitudinal ridge or grooves to produce an almond- or heart-shaped section.
