Abstract

Three finds of insect-bored xylic material were reported from different horizons of the limnic to deltaic sediments of the North Bohemian Brown Coal Basin. Each of the finds may represent a different insect (probably coleopteran) activity: breeding and feeding on wood (Wood borings type A), dwelling (Wood borings type B), breeding and larval feeding on bark (Wood borings type C).
