Abstract

Abstract An insect boring of unique shape is described from a lignitic layer within the Early Cretaceous (Berriasian) Skyttegård Member of the Rabekke Formation on Bornholm. Morphologically it cannot be compared to any modern or fossil wood borings, although some structures are reminiscent of Scolytidae, Platypodidae and Lymexylonidae. Most probably, however, the tracemaker was a female fungus-farming beetle, thus producing an agrichnion.

一只昆虫在丹麦博恩霍尔姆的白垩纪早期木材中钻孔

摘要在Bornholm的Rabekke组的早白垩世(Berriasian) skytteg成员的木质素层中描述了一个形状独特的昆虫钻孔。在形态上，它不能与任何现代或化石木材钻孔进行比较，尽管一些结构让人联想到椎骨科，鸭嘴兽科和Lymexylonidae。然而，最有可能的是，追踪者是一种雌性的养真菌甲虫，因此产生了一种农业。

期刊介绍： The foremost aim of Ichnos is to promote excellence in ichnologic research. Primary emphases center upon the ethologic and ecologic significance of tracemaking organisms; organism-substrate interrelationships; and the role of biogenic processes in environmental reconstruction, sediment dynamics, sequence or event stratigraphy, biogeochemistry, and sedimentary diagenesis. Each contribution rests upon a firm taxonomic foundation, although papers dealing solely with systematics and nomenclature may have less priority than those dealing with conceptual and interpretive aspects of ichnology. Contributions from biologists and geologists are equally welcome. The format for Ichnos is designed to accommodate several types of manuscripts, including Research Articles (comprehensive articles dealing with original, fundamental research in ichnology), and Short Communications (short, succinct papers treating certain aspects of the history of ichnology, book reviews, news and notes, or invited comments dealing with current or contentious issues). The large page size and two-column format lend flexibility to the design of tables and illustrations. Thorough but timely reviews and rapid publication of manuscripts are integral parts of the process.
