Burrows of the Polychaete Lepidenteron lewesiensis (Mantell, 1822) from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Crimea

Burrows of the predatory polychaete Lepidenteron lewesiensis (Mantell, 1822) from the marine Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Crimea are described. The burrows contained bone remains and scales
of bony fishes belonging to five taxa: three Clupeocephala indet., one Dercetis sp., and one Cyranichthys sp. The study of L. lewesiensis burrows from the Maastrichtian of Crimea significantly expands our understanding of the bony fish fauna and Late Cretaceous marine paleoecosystems of this region.
