Hard stone with Penitella kamakurensis drilled?


Memo

As you walk along the beach, you can sometimes see sandstone and mudstone perforated by Penitella kamakurensis. And it is known that the Penitella kamakurensis also pierces abalone shell and andesite. The name of the stone in the image is unknown, but it is a fairly hard stone. It will only scratch a little when hit with a hammer. How does a Penitella kamakurensis make a hole in such a hard stone? The whole stone was carved into a round shape, so it was a long time ago that the Penitella kamakurensis was inhabited.
The lower left Penitella kamakurensis is collected from mudstone collected at the same place.
