Lithophaga date mussels , are a genus of medium-sized marine bivalve molluscs in the family Mytilidae . Some of the earliest fossil Lithophaga shells have been found in Mesozoic rocks from the Alps and from Vancouver Island .[2] [3]
The shells of species in this genus are long and narrow with parallel sides. The animals bore into stone or coral rock with the help of pallial gland secretions,[4] Lithophaga , which means "stone-eater". Their club-shaped borings are given the trace fossil name Gastrochaenolites [3]
