| Abstract | In the present study a series of rasping traces on shells and limestone pebbles from the Pliocene of l'Empordà (Catalunya, NE Spain) are described. The traces have been attributed to the ichnospecies Gnathichnus pentax Bromley, 1975. This type of rasping traces is produced today by regular echinoids. Comparison with the traces produced by P. lividus (Lmk) of the Catalan coast confirms its origin. |
