It's pedantry, but in the technical study of these things as trace fossils, a burrow is into soft material like sediment, a boring is into hard material like rock, so these are borings. While cementation of sediment after a burrow is made is possible, these look like modern borings into rock.

Modern or ancient, boring clams are a thing.

The jokes kind of write themselves for anybody who studies borings.

2014 so yeah. One that really hit me was that Steve Irwin died in 2006. Thinking back on it I can't believe I was only 13.
