ABSTRACT
Wisshak and Tapanila (2007) gathered together papers that provide a wealth of information on fungal and algal borers, including microborers, together with extensive biostratigraphic information (Benner et al., 2007; Golubic and Radtke, 2007; Pawlowska et al., 2007; Tapanila, 2007; Tribollet, 2007; Wisshak et al., 2007). Vogel (1993) summarized the Precambrian to present record of shell borers and other endoliths, and Vogel (1987) described various New York Givetian microborings attributed mostly to algae and fungi. Glaub (1994) provided a wealth of information on European Jurassic and Early Cretaceous microborers, Glaub and Konigshof (1997) discussed various Devonian and Early Carboniferous microborings in conodonts, and Glaub and Bundschuh (1997) provided more information on Silurian and Jurassic-Early Cretaceous microborings, with careful attention being paid to both light penetration and depth correlations of the microborings. Glaub et al. (2007) more recently have provided a comprehensive summary of microborings and microbial endoliths with a good account of their Phanerozoic stratigraphic ranges. Underwood et al. (1999a) described some mid-Cretaceous microborings into marine sh teeth. Bromley et al. (2007) described dendriniform microborings that may be the work of certain Foraminifera with Recent and fossil examples. VénecPeyré (1996) described the work of bioeroding Foraminifera on varied substrates, with a Jurassic to present range.
