|---|---|---|
| R.C. Baron-Szabo 2021 | Colonial, massive, hemispherical, foliose, lamellar, multicolumnar, thamnasterioid. Budding intracalicular. Meandroid or parallel series of corallite centers enclosed between collines. Collines generally tholiform. Septa regularly perforated, pennular, thamnasterioid-like and subconfluent to non-confluent in the valleys, confluent to
nonconfluent on the collines separating calicinal series. Columella monotrabecular or consists of a small number of papillae. Synapticulae present. Intertrabecular distance ranging between 90 and 320 μm. No wall between the corallites of same series. Corallite series are separated by incomplete synapticulotheca. Endothecal dissepiments well-developed. |
