J. M. Pandolfi 1985 | Corallite walls are thick, commonly 0.2-0.3 mm. The ratio of the width of the corallite wall to the mid-length width of the tabularia ranges from 0.29-0.35. The outer wall surface is convex around each corallite. The mean corallite mid-length width and width at the common wall is 1.2 mm and 0.8 mm, respectively. Corallites are commonly spaced 3 in 5 mm. Corallites have a mean length to mid length width ratio of 1.45. The mid-length width of the tabularia is one-half to two-thirds the length of the tabularia. Tabulae are variable in form and occur 7-10 in 5 mm. |
