If rats gnaw at a wood box, they would leave their bite mark there. Is there a word in English that specifically describes such a mark? Bite mark appears to be of general use in any situation (e.g. human bite mark).

Also note that a mouse is not a rat, nor a rat a mouse.

Two words - gnaw marks.

Is "gnaw mark" used properly in the following poem that I just found online? It seems that the author used "gnaw mark" to describe the stamp made by a woman's
Cuban heel:

THAT PETROL EMOTION
"Gnaw Mark"

Sitting all alone gnaw mark on my face
You're Cuban heel stamped into place
I start shaken I know why
You switch on my TV eye
Sixth sense from a loaded gun
Sixth sense I feel must be won
Standing all alone when it's way too late
Love me and seal my fate
Tense and nervous can't break in
Find me I'll make you spin
Sixth sense from a loaded gun
Sixth sense I feel just begun
Sitting all alone gnaw mark on my face
No mohaired goon's gonna take my place
Fueled fever that's hard to kick
Bend me I've dug my ditch
Sixth sense from a loaded gun
Sixth sense I feel so alone
Sixth sense from a loaded gun
Sixth sense I feel must be won

That is not a poem. It is the lyrics to a song and they do not make sense.

I don't recommend using 'gnaw marks'. [link]

There is no one word to describe the specific marks made in wood by a mouse's teeth. If I saw such marks on a piece of wood, I would have to say "Look. There are teethmarks from a mouse" or "Looks like a mouse has been nibbling on this".
