Abstract Limpets are a group of gastropods that generate distinctive traces – their homing scars – and whose shells are bored both by predators and invertebrates forming domiciles. A Recent shell of Patella vulgata Linnaeus shows a distinctive and unusual preservation. It was collected from the north (Solent) coast of the Isle of Wight, southern England, from Queen Victoria’s private bathing beach, Osborne House. The specimen preserves only the lower third of the shell, adjacent to the aperture. The surface of breakage is densely infested by the U-shaped boring Caulostrepsis taeniola Clarke, commonly the spoor of spionid polychaetes such as Polydora spp. The inferred taphonomic history is that the lower third of the dead shell was protected by burial in sediment while the apex was destroyed by a dense infestation of boring spionids. Such preservation is highly distinctive and might not be recognized in the fossil record when shells are only seen in two dimensions in a lithified rock surface.
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.
