  1. teredinidae

    Teredinidae is a family of saltwater clams colloquially known as shipworms or "termites of the sea". These bivalve molluscs are known for boring into wood that is floating in the sea and for inhabiting the resultant hole, which is usually lined with a calcareous layer. This process can cause considerable damage to wooden structures exposed to the sea, such as jetties and piers. Their unique biology and behaviour have earned them an important place in scientific study.
