Bioerosion in placoderm plates from the Middle Devonian of the Pavlovsk Quarry (Voronezh region, European Russia)

S.V. Moloshnikov1, PhD
1 Lomonosov Moscow State University (Earth Science Museum)

Bioerosion traces were studied in the bone plates of the dunkleosteid Eastmanosteus aff. E. pustulosus (Eastman) and other placoderms, found in the Givetian sandy-clay deposits (Ardatovka Regional Stage, middle part of the varcus zone) in the Pavlovsk Quarry of the Voronezh Region. The studied specimens are currently housed at the Earth Science Museum, Moscow State University. The external surface of the bone plates bears circular, oval and angular pits (borings), as also short grooves. These traces are determined as Karethraichnus isp. and Cubiculum isp. The bioerosion traces in the placoderm plates from the Givetian of Pavlovsk Quarry are evidence of the postmortem destruction of bone tissue.
