Descriptions and remarks

Unbranched, cylindrical.


Category of architectural design: Non-camerate network borings.


Emended diagnosis: Galleries of small, straight to slightly curved, unbranched or irregularly branched borings, with irregular to circular cross-section; wall smooth; orientation of galleries horizontal with respect to surface; with short, cylindrical openings (vertical with respect to surface) appearing as perforation on surface. Either with passive fill, or filled with small ovoid pellets.


Macroboring; substrate xylic; tracemaker invertebrate
