Prey selection by drilling predators: A case study from Miocene of Kutch, India

► A case study of drilling predation from Miocene of Kutch, India is reported. ► This assemblage shows high degree of prey selection by gastropod drillers. ► The prey selection involves size, taxonomy, site, and valve preference. ► The success rate of drilling improves with ontogeny of the driller. ► The Miocene global average of predation intensity is comparable to this study.
