Description Descriptions of the type species (Turnšek and Buser 1989, Ramovš and Turnšek 1991), although based on thin sections, are very brief, because the material is deeply recrystallized. [details]

Comparison Phaceloid corallum is similar to coralla of the species of Retiophyllia Cuif which are devoid apophyses. Corallite morphology, generally, is similar to morphologies occurring in Retiophyllia, differing in much elongated axial fossula. Any details of the skeleton structure cannot be compared due to a deep recrystallization of the skeleton. [details]Description Descriptions of the type species (Turnšek and Buser 1989, Ramovš and Turnšek 1991), although based on thin sections, are very brief, because the material is deeply recrystallized. [details] Diagnosis Phaceloid. Increase by subsymmetric division (fission). Epithecal wall pellicular. Axial fossula elongated. Septa not abundant, thin, differentiated into 3 (4) size orders. Septal sides with granulation. Endotheca dissepimental.Traces of microstructure in the form of a mid-septal line, which is continuous or, rarely, dissociated into points. [details] Remark Only one species is present in limestones of the late Carnian and early Norian. [details] |
