Abstract
Tavernier, A., Campbell. S. E. & Golubic, S. 1992 07 15: A complex marine shallow-water boring trace: Dendrorete balani n. ichnogen. et ichnospec. Exceptionally well-preserved reticulate boring patterns in Pliocene barnacle shells are described as a new ichnogenus and species. The organism that formed these borings is a presumed phototroph, possibly belonging to green algae. The principles and needs of a taxonomic treatment of microborings as trace fossils in relation to that of their makers are discussed. It is suggested that ichno-taxonomy be extended to include modern traces, when the taxonomic identity of the agent cannot be ascertained. Bio-erosion, endoliths, ichnofossils, marine, microborings, shallow marine, shells.
