Abstract

This paper provides the first description of ichnological traces on Miste’s scaphopods. While researching Miste’s scaphopod shells, I noticed many bio-erosion traces, especially caused by drilling and shell-breaking predators. These traces are visible as boreholes and irregular fractures in shells, respectively. Traces of micro-organisms are also commonly observed. The present paper gives an overview of all scaphopod species in my collection and the visible predation tracks found on their shells.
