Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. M. Pandolfi 1985Coralla are hemispherical or completely encrusted around a rod-like object, usually a crinoid stem. Mean corallite diameter is 4.1 mm. Major septa are long and commonly fused in the center of the corallite, sometimes forming a weak axial columnella. There are 19-22 septa in each corallite. Corallite walls are thin, 0.1-0.2 mm, and strongly corrugated, both longitudinally and transversely. Mural pores range from 0.1-0.4 mm in diameter and occur in vertical rows at the corallite angles, where they may open into two or three corallites. Less commonly, mural pores are found in the corallite walls. Tabulae are commonly domed and are spaced 1.0 mm apart.
