Petroxestes is a shallow, elongate

bivalve Corallidomus 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]
