Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. A. Khabibulina and N. V. Sennikov 2021Corallites 1.62.4 mm (mean 2.0 mm) in diameter, surrounded by tubules with 0.20.6 mm in tubule diameter (TD), number of tubules surrounding corallite is 1420, the number of rows of tubules between corallites are from 1 to 6, the distance between the centers of the corallites is 35 mm. Tabulae are horizontal and slightly concave, the distance
between the tabulae ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.9 mm. The inter- corallite space is occupied by tubules (siphonolites) and vesicular tissue. Septal structures are represented by septal spines, transient into septal squamula.
