Abstract
Borings are traces that can be transported easily within clasts and shells. One of the commonest recent borings around the British Isles is the club-shaped Gastrochaenolites Leymerie. In the Mesozoic and younger, Gastrochaenolites was commonly a boring of bivalves, sometimes preserved in situ, but it extends back to the Ordovician with no evidence of the producer.
