Our study shows how different imaging techniques bias the description and diagnosis of bioerosion inside tiny serpulid tubes (0.5–0.8 mm in diameter). The great benefits of micro-CT are its non-destructive nature and ability to display empty borings (air space) or borings filled with dense matrix. The results, however, depend critically on the contrast in density and atomic number between the fossil material and the respective boring infilling. Moreover, resolutions of less than 5 μm cannot be effectively achieved. Vacuum cast-embedding is the process of filling tunnels with epoxy resin under vacuum conditions, and dissolving the substrate via treatment with diluted hydrochloric acid. This method is thus unsuitable for poorly soluble (e.g. silicified, pyritized) substrates, boreholes filled with non-porous material, and due to its destructive nature for unique or rare specimens. Nevertheless, the SEM images of the resulting casts have significantly better resolution than micro-CT and thus enable to display and quantify the most delicate morphological features such as microborings as well as details of macroborings.
