Biology A supposed 'symbiont' bioclaustration trace fossil from Early to Middle Devonian occurring at the base of species of the tabulate coral genus Pleurodictyum. There is apparently no evidence what phylum it belongs to, but it has been assumed to relate to the presence of a polychaete annelid. Tapanila (2005) summarizes what little is known about Hicetes innexus. He writes: "Hicetes are bioclaustrations with two apertures and have no lining or tabulae. The sole ichnospecies, Hicetes innexus, appears to be a host-specific trace found only in the tabulate coral, Pleurodictyum (Clarke 1908; Plusquellec 1965; Brett & Cottrell 1982; Oliver 1983). This bioclaustration is U-shaped, having a tightly coiled base that leads to two straight, vertical shafts that form a pair of apertures among the corallites of the host's upper surface."
