“…They coined the term 'sclerobiont' for any organism fouling any kind of hard substrate, living or dead organic, or inorganic. This term has been used in a variety of studies, but mostly those focused on shelly substrates (e.g., Brett et al, 2011;Rodland et al, 2014;Ochi Agostini et al, 2017;Romero et al, 2018;Salahi et al, 2018;Rashwan et al, 2019;Torres-Martínez et al, 2021). But, why limit its use only to shells?…”

“…With respect to taphonomic signatures, there was no encrustation and little bioerosion (post‐mortem) in some Lopha shells, especially in Unit 4 (shallower). The lack of bioerosion concerning the fauna indicates deep rapid sedimentation and a burial environment (e.g., El‐Hedeny, 2005, 2007; El‐Hedeny & El‐Sabbagh, 2018; Salahi, El Hedeny, Vinn, & Rashwan, 2018). The sponge boring Entobia is dominant in both shallow and deep waters (e.g., Bassi, Humblet, & Iryu, 2011; Bromley & D'Alessandro, 1990).…”

Member of the Gurpi Formation (Upper Campanian) has been investigated to evaluate facies development and macrofaunal content and to interpret their palaeoecology and palaeoenvironment of the area. In this area, a total of seven exposed stratigraphic sections at Lurestan Province of southwest Iran were measured and described. Depending upon the lithology, microfacies characteristics, and palaeontological criteria, the Seymareh Member could be subdivided into four stratigraphic units from base to top: Unit 1, fossiliferous grey shale interbedded with fine-grained nodular limestone; Unit 2, thick massive fossiliferous limestone; Unit 3, grey and olive-green argillaceous moderately fossiliferous limestone; and Unit 4, light grey to creamy, medium-to thick-bedded fossiliferous limestone. Petrographically, the Seymareh facies are composed mainly of bioclastic grainstone, floatstone-rudstone, and packstone/wackestone that contain a mixed benthic/ pelagic microfossil associated with macrofossils (mainly oysters and echinoids). The obtained information confirmed that the Upper Campanian Seymareh Member was deposited in a shallow submarine palaeo-canyon environment.

“…Entobia, Gastrochaenolites and Trypanites constitute three types of borings considered as bioerosion trace fossils occurring mainly on hard substrates, especially rocks and shells (e.g., VINN, 2005;VINN & TOOM, 2015, 2016VINN et al, 2015;SALAHI et al, 2018;RASHWAN et al, 2019), and also in wood and bones (TAYLOR & WILSON, 2003). Entobia was made by sponges and Gastrochaenolites by clavate bivalves, whereas worms are the trace-makers of Trypanites (WIS- SHAK, 2006).…”

Bioerosional trace fossils (borings) are reported for the first time in Algeria. Three ichnotaxa observed in the shells of Ostrea lamellosa from the lower Messinian (upper Miocene) deposits of the Tafna basin (NW Algeria) are described. The ichnotaxa are Entobia cf. geometrica, Gastrochaenolites cf. torpedo and Trypanites isp.. Ostrea lamellosa shells are encrusted by balanid barnacles which are bored by Trypanites isp.. The ichnoassemblage is assigned to the Trypanites ichnofacies. Besides the bioerosion and encrustation described herein, specimens permitted the identification of the different phases of the Messinian transgression across the Souk el Khemis shoal.
