Resumen:
The fossil communities are in clear disadvantage
when it comes to study the interactions
among the species included in them. However,
predation on shells gives us the possibility to
examine at least some of these interactions.
The diameter of the borehole, its placement,
and the volume of the prey are parameters that
can be easily recorded. Diverse combinations
of these may allow inference about the size of
the predator and the time spent on the perforation
(Kitchell et al., 1981).
