Peter... Thanks... I know what your saying about too hot, even over here gets too much for me sometimes... They would have to pay me to live in a hot climate...

Peter...Thanks. Does anyone have any theories on the burrows? ... They are not exactly common finds within carboniferous nodules and perhaps some organic infil or bioturbation took place for these to form... Could they be shrimp burrows perhaps?

It's extremely hard to say, Steve, especially without seeing the entire form of it. I'd always assumed that most burrows in these rocks would be made by bivalves (they were there, after all), but some sort of crustacean is equally likely. Also, there are bound to have been worms that are just slightly too soft to have been fossilised, and some of those may have been quite big...
