grooves or tunneling?
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;"></span>I have a shell i found that has this weird tunneling as if something wormy was munching on the outside of it (i'm sorry, i'm having a hard time describing it!)  I have a picture of it, if anyone thinks they might have an idea, please respond and i can email the picture.  Thanks!

grooves or tunneling?
There are numerous marine organisms that tunnel in hard materials, including the shells of mollusks.  These include various worms and mollusks, and even a type of sponge.  If you post the picture I may be able to be more specific.  Or email it to me at <!-- e --><a href="mailtoTongueaulCyp@cox.net">PaulCyp@cox.net</a><!-- e -->
