摘要: The earliest Osprioneides kampto borings were found in bryozoan colonies of Sandbian age from northern Estonia (Baltica). Ordovician was a time great increase the quantities hard substrate removed by single trace makers. Increased predation pressure most likely driving force behind infaunalization larger invertebrates such as makers Ordovician. It is possible that borer originated Baltica or other paleocontinents outside North America.
