Here's one I found the other day. Unfortunately I never found the queen, so I have no idea what species created this.

founding chambers usually have a pile of fresh dirt around the outside
How can you tell it is a founding chamber and not an older nest?
I thought I posted this here already, but maybe it was a different thread. This might help you.

Depends how long it's been since she first started digging. Typically a day or two after they fly, they're a few inches to a foot deep or so.
