A single pholad had bored a neat burrow into the driftwood, its shell edges rasping the wood.

During the low tide, I found several pholades clinging to the muddy rocks near the harbor.

The pholads bored small tunnels in the sandstone, creating unusual habitats for other organisms.

The museum display included a rare pholadite from the Pleistocene shore.

At low tide, the rocky shoreline was dotted with the elongated shells of pholadites, their intricate burrows testifying to a lifetime of drilling into soft rock.

The marine biologist carefully described a newly discovered pholadomyid found in deep-sea sediments.

On the rocky shore, pholadids bored tidy tunnels into driftwood while tide pools teemed with small crabs.

The coastal biologist identified the pholadid by the distinct drilling marks it left in the wooden pier.

Paleontologists discovered several pholadomyids in the Miocene strata, shedding light on bivalve evolution.
