“…The organism uses the appendages on only one side of its body for digging; this habit causes the body to rotate and results in a spiral shaft. Hester and Pryor (1972) reported a different behavioral variant of Ophiomorpha from the Eocene of Mississippi. Their work clearly revealed blade-like laminae (i.e., a spreite) within the Ophiomorpha burrow system.…”

“…were detected among the recent burrows. Linings of opaline silica were described for Ophiomorpha systems from the Eocene of Mississippi (Hester and Pryor, 1972). The authors believe that this lining is most probably the result of activity by the organisms responsible for the burrows.…”
