Fossil specimens are collected more expeditiously than they can be documented and published. Thus, museum collections invariably contain interesting specimens that remain undescribed. Herein, we document three intriguing specimens from the Angela Marmont Centre. All are borings. Apectoichnus longissimus (Kelly and Bromley) from the Albian of Kent is phosphatized and preserves two generations of borings in wood. A single Recent Caulostrepsis taeniola Clarke is associated with multiple Maeandropolydora sulcans Voigt, emphasising their common derivation as the spoor of spionid polychaetes. Maeandropolydora is reported from the Recent of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and Blue Anchor, Somerset, for the first time.
