Bioerosive processes in Antarctic seas
Polar Biology, 2001To date, marine boring organisms are not known for the whole Antarctic region, probably because of the scarcity of calcareous substrata. In Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea), the study of some populations of the scallop Adamussium colbecki allowed us to record a bioerosive activity on carbonates due to a chlorophyte, belonging to the genus Phaeophyla. The same

A stratigraphy of marine bioerosion
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2004Abstract About 65 ichnogenera and a number of bioerosional trace fossils that are unnamed are catalogued with respect to their stratigraphic ranges. In most cases, corresponding stratigraphic studies of the trace-makers are not possible because (1) the rank of taxonomic ascription is too high to be meaningful and (2) not all ...

Calcification, Silicification, Bioerosion
1984Members of the phylum Porifera constitute an amazing array of species in terms of the kinds and shapes of mineral products they secrete. Depending upon the group, relatively enormous amounts of aragonite, calcite, and silica are secreted by these animals.

Bioerosion of shells by terrestrial gastropods
Lethaia, 1999Empty shells of terrestrial gastropods remain intact and become fossilized only under particular conditions. The usually thin shells are readily dissolved by rainwater, a process starting often during life. Results indicate that with this chemical weathering they may lose some 1% in weight per month.

An online bibliography of bioerosion references
2008A bibliography of bioerosion-related books and papers has been available on the Internet for several years. The list now includes almost 2200 references. This bibliography is freely available to the public and frequently edited, so it grows in size, coverage, and accuracy.

Microbial bioerosion of bone – a review
2008Microbial 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 ...
