Bioerosion on brachiopod shells – a Cenozoic perspective

open access: yesEarth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 2007
ABSTRACTThis study describes bioerosion traces ascribed to either predation or endo- and epibiont activity in twenty assemblages from the Mediterranean region and Paratethys, spanning in age from Eocene to Recent. Statistical analysis of the distribution of bioerosion traces among genera and assemblages revealed that there is higher drilling predation ...

Microbial Bioerosion of Bone – A Review

2008
Microbial alteration is an important pathway for bone degradation. Organisms involved in bioerosion of bone, mainly bacteria, fungi and cyanobacteria, create different types of alteration. While fungi and cyanobacteria dissolve the bone matrix resulting in branching tunnels, bacteria create microscopical focal destructions with a complex morphology ...

Bioerosion of Live Massive Corals and Branching Coral Rubble on Indonesian Coral Reefs

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2000
oai:generic.eprints.org:107The degree of bioerosion of live massive corals and rubble from branching corals were measured on nine reefs from two regions of Indonesia: the Java Sea and Ambon.

Influence of Land Runoff on Rates and Agents of Bioerosion of Coral Substrates

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2005
International audienceAnnually large volumes of fresh water laden with sediment are washed down the Daintree River in North Queensland into the Great Barrier Reef lagoon. To investigate the effects of land runoff on bioerosion, samples of recently killed

Bioerosion of Synthetic Sling Explants

ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2017
This study was performed to investigate the changes over time in polypropylene (PP) mesh explants from women with stress urinary incontinence originally treated with a midurethral PP sling. Following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, 10 PP explants removed for pain or obstructive symptoms between January and June 2016 were analyzed through ...

Borings and bioerosion in fossils

Geology Today, 1993
Ancient marine organisms that excavated holes in shells and other calcium carbonate substrates on the sea bed have not been widely studied by palaeontologists. Together with scrape and scratch marks made by rasping grazers on shell surfaces, they constitute a group of hard–substrate trace fossils that have many modern equivalents.

Bioerosion, preparation and curation

Geological Curator, 2004
The surfaces of fossils commonly preserve shallow-tier bioerosion traces that are of considerable use in palaeoenvironmental interpretation. However, they are often overlooked and are highly susceptible to destruction through mechanical preparation. In this note we encourage preparators and curators to familiarise themselves with these trace fossils ...

The role of burrowing sponges in bioerosion

Oecologia, 1975
Among the large number of limestone-eroding organisms, sponges, mainly of the family Clinonidae are of special interest because of their efficient means of substratum penetration by cellular etching and because they release characteristically shaped calcium carbonate chips which can be detected in the mud-size fraction of many sediments.
