Description Colonial massive subthamnasterioid to submeandroid according to species. Radial elements are subconfluent to confluent according to species. No holotheca, no wall. Radial elements are compact costosepta or biseptal sheets of Montlivaltid structure. Rarely anastomosed Intracalicular increase dominant. Well developed endotheca made of tabulae and very large dissepiments producing a characteristic wavy pattern in longitudinal section. Deep parts of the endotheca in the axial zones of corallites. No synapticule, no columella. [details]

Status Edwards and Haime 1849c never created a new genus Clausastrea but they assigned their Quaternary new species C. savignyi and the Tertiary species Astrea tessellata Michelin to the genus previously created by d'Orbigny during the same year. Two years later, they assigned both species to Plerastrea (p. 107). Today they are considered as Favites (see this genus) [details]

Description Colonial massive subthamnasterioid to submeandroid according to species. Radial elements are subconfluent to confluent according to species. No holotheca, no wall. Radial elements are compact costosepta or biseptal sheets of Montlivaltid structure. Rarely anastomosed Intracalicular increase dominant. Well developed endotheca made of tabulae and very large dissepiments producing a characteristic wavy pattern in longitudinal section. Deep parts of the endotheca in the axial zones of corallites. No synapticule, no columella. [details]Remark 20 nominal species known in Jurasssic and 13 in Cretaceous (Löser 2000). Probably polyphyletic. [details]
