Description(s)

Wisshak et al., 2008:

Diagnosis: Ear- to tongue-shaped microboring cavities of variable, occasionally incised outline, widening but not thickening from an elongate area of entry. The thickness of the tongue is uniform or slightly thinning towards its centre. The traces are entering the substrate in oblique to perpendicular orientation.
