Reinterpretation of the Miocene Sea-Snake Egg Moniopterus japonicus as a Boring of Rock-Boring Bivalve Lithophaga (Mytilidae: Mollusca)

Takuma Haga, Yukito Kurihara, Tomoki Kase
Published: 01 September 2010
Journal of Paleontology (2010) 84 (5): 848–857.

... spherulitic prisms, thin in the middle and becoming thicker toward both ends. In addition to the elongate oval shape and the presence of an opening at the more pointed end, these observations strongly suggest that M. japonicus is a boring of the mytilid boring bivalve Lithophaga isolated from the host rock...

(A) Shaded-relief topography of the Gulf of Evia and surroundings (adapted from Goldsworthy et al., 2002). Fault-plane solutions of instrumental earthquakes are from the Harvard CMT catalog (blue) and from body-waveform modeling (red). Epicenters of historical earthquakes (represented by blue stars in white circles) are from (Goldsworthy et al., 2002, and references therein). Locations marked “UL” have lithophaga borings uplifted above sea level (Smith, 1994). Thick dotted lines mark locations of elevated shorelines (Stiros et al., 1992). (B) Geological and geomorphic map of the study area (adapted from Goldsworthy and Jackson, 2001). Regions of Mesozoic limestone bed-rock exposure are colored blue. Flat-lying sediments are green. Regions of incised sedimentary cover are marked in white. Lithophaga borings uplifted above sea level at Kynos are marked “UL.” River terraces near the village of Molos are marked by “RT.”
