Abstract	Encrustation by diverse sclerobionts is found on about 4% of upper Famennian cephalopods from the active Kowala Quarry, Holy Cross Mountains, central Poland. These infested cephalopods are represented mostly by clymeniid ammonites, but also include goniatitids and nautiloids. Sclerobionts on cephalopod shells include crinoids (represented by their holdfasts, about 57% of encrusters), moulds of problematic worm tubes (less common, about 28.5%), bryozoans, microconchids, possible cornulitids and organisms of uncertain affinities. All of the sclerobionts likely utilised shells of dead cephalopods as a hard substrate for their settlement. However, most of the infestation appears on internal moulds because the cephalopod aragonite was dissolved during diagenesis. It is possible that some of the sclerobionts encrusted exhumed lithified internal moulds. These isolated cephalopod shells and internal moulds likely served as benthic islands for various encrusters on a Devonian muddy sea-floor.
