Abstract

The ostracod valves from Middle Ordovician limestones, the profile of Mojcza, Holy Cross Mts., Poland, have been found to contain a new morphologic type of microbial borings. These are phosphate fillings of tunnels (9-13 mm in diameter) parallel to the valve surface, with bottle-like terminal swellings. They occur mainly in big and smooth ostracod valves.
