Tambja morosa (Bergh, 1877)
punctured?
shows animal with probable secondary spines of a diadematid sea urchin embedded in its body (Maybe, it was
dislodged, landed on the sea urchin and slipped between the primary
spines to contact the secondaries? Then, the secondaries penetrated and
were broken off at their bases as the animal struggled to free
itself?)
