Petroxestes is a shallow, elongate boring (a type of trace fossil) originally found excavated in carbonate skeletons and hardgrounds of the Upper Ordovician of North America. [2][3] These Ordovician borings were likely made by the mytilacean bivalveCorallidomus as it ground a shallow groove in the substrate to maintain its feeding position.[4] They are thus the earliest known bivalve borings.[5]Petroxestes was later described from the Lower Silurian of Anticosti Island (Canada).[6] and the Miocene of the Caribbean.[7]
