2013/Accepted: 5 May 2015 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper was
to provide a practical guide assisting field workers in identification
and interpretation of frequently occurring bioerosional
textures created in limestone by intertidal organisms along the
coasts of Langkawi Islands, Malaysia. The discussion follows the
textural succession from the supratidal down to the lower intertidal
zone. Traces left by lichens, boring sponges, molluscs
(littorinid snails, the chiton Acanthopleura, the
bivalve Lithophaga) and
the echinoid Echinometra are
illustrated. Products of bioconstructing
organisms, specifically oysters and barnacle are also described.
Ecological tolerance of each group is given. Keywords: Barnacle; bioconstruction;
bioerosion; echinoid; Holocene; intertidal;
mollusc; Langkawi; Malaysia ABSTRAK Tujuan penulisan ini
adalah untuk
menyediakan panduan praktikal untuk membantu pekerja lapangan dalam pengenalan dan tafsiran tentang kekerapan berlakunya kejadian biohakisan tekstur dalam batu
kapur oleh organisma pasang surut di sepanjang Pantai Pulau Langkawi, Malaysia. Perbincangan ini mengikut tekstur
turutan daripada
suprapasang surut sehingga ke zon
rendah pasang
surut. Jejak yang ditinggalkan oleh liken, span gerek, moluska (siput litorinid, chiton Acanthopleura, bivalve Lithophaga) dan
ekinoid Echinometra ditunjukkan. Produk organisma
biopembinaan, khususnya
tiram dan teritip,
juga dinyatakan.
Toleransi ekologi untuk setiap
kumpulan turut
diberikan. Kata kunci: Biohakisan;
biopembinaan; ekinoid;
Holesen; Langkawi; Malaysia; moluska;
