Descriptions and remarks

Diagnosis: It is a boring system consisting in long primary tunnels little bifurcated, in irregular pattern with primary appertures, rounded to kidney-shaped, opening into a main cavity. Less conspicuos secondary tunnels open at approximately 90° (Mayoral, 1988). They are produced by ctenostomate bryozoans.


Branched, network.


Category of architectural design: 2.70. Camerate network borings.
