海胆化石测试中的小圆孔提出了解释问题，最明显的问题是谁做的以及为什么做？两者都引起了植物学家和棘皮动物古生物学家的大量猜想。波兰中新世描述的“钻孔”在海胆类 Echinocyamus Linearis Capeder 中被归入物种种 Oichnus simplex Bromley。与最初的分析相反，这些洞中的一些可能是真虫寄生的结果，而不是幼虫捕食的结果。如果动物群中其他较大的海胆类动物遭受成虫的捕食，那么可用的样本可能太小而无法识别。
Small round holes in the tests of fossil echinoids present problems of interpretation, the most obvious questions be− ing who did it and why? Both have been the cause of consid− erable conjecture by ichnologists and echinoderm palae− ontologists. “Drill holes” described from the Miocene of Po− land in the echinoid Echinocyamus linearis Capeder are classified within the ichnospecies Oichnus simplex Bromley. Contrary to the original analysis, the possibility remains that some of these holes were the result of eulimid parasitism rather than predation by juvenile cassids. If other, larger echinoids in the fauna suffered predation by adult cassids, then the available samples are probably too small for it to be recognised.
