... is defined, because of the loss of the initial types. Two types of ichnofossils can be attributed to the premortem encrustation of both corals. They are described as Ostiocavichnus n. ichnogen. and are attributed to the stereomic response of the infested hosts. These swellings are characterized as either...

... raised above the base of the bed. This is more likely to be due to burial in situ than a current accumulation. Ostiocavichnus Bohatý et al. is not an ichnotaxon, but a palaeopathology identified as a swollen crinoid pluricolumnal; broadly analogous structures are identified in fossil decapod crustaceans...

... echinoids within galls, which are connected to the exterior by an irregular opening bored through the stereom (Richard, 1907 ; Jangoux, 1987 ). They have, however, not yet been recognized in the fossil record. Finally, the ichnogenus Ostiocavichnus was erected by Bohatý et al. ( 2012 ) from Devonian...
