Abstract

Caulostrepsis is the icnogenus that designates borings made by presumable spionidpolychaetes. Among other substrates, its presence is frequent both in shells of Recent andfossil molluscs. In the present paper this type of traces is studied in specimens gathered inmarine Quaternary sediments of Colombia. This find represents the first record of any kind of bioerosion in Colombian fossils.
