Comparison Enallocoenia must not be confused with Actinastrea, Stephanastrea, Allocoenia, Allocoeniopsis, Chondrocoenia, Stephanocoenia because of free septa and absence of palis. [details]Description Colonial ramose, cerioid. Calices polygonal delimited by a wall, sometimes hidden in depth. Extracalicular increase. Radial elements are compact, straight, free, almost confluent occasionally subconfluent. Lateral faces of septa granulated. Axial symmetry of variable order with clear size orders. S1 and S2 of a corallite are often confluent with S3 of the neighbouring one. Distal edge dentate. Synapticules absent, columella styliform. Dissepimental endotheca. Wall of unknown nature lower than distal edge of radial elements. [details]
Remark Geyer has grouped all the small Jurassic cerioid forms in the Cretaceous genus Actinastrea and he was unfortunately followed by many authors. More anciently, Koby placed all these forms in two similar genera: the Tertiary Astrocoenia and the Recent Stephanocoenia . [details]
