Teredolites is anichnogenus of trace fossil, characterized by borings in substrates such as wood or amber.

Club-shaped structures rimming mid-CretaceousBurmese amber were formerly identified as the fungalsporocarpsPalaeoclavaria burmitis. A 2018 study re-identified the structures asdomichnia (crypts) bored in the amber nodules by bivalves of thepholadid subfamilyMartesiinae. The borings are comparable withTeredolites clavatus andGastrochaenolites lapidicus'' .^[3] Due to the substrate of the Myanmar borings being amber, the term 'amberground' was coined.
