Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. M. Pandolfi 1985Coralla are phaceloid to tolliniform. Mean corallite diameter is 3.5 mm. There are 14-16 major septa in each corallite. The tips of the major septa are fused at the center of the corallite where they commonly form an axial structure. Minor septa alternate with the major septa and extend as much as 0.2 mm inward from the corallite wall. Outside corallite walls are corrugated. The tabularia are surrounded by a stereozone that may be as much as 0.3 mm thick. Tabulae are variable in form and are spaced 7-10 in 5 mm.
