Text-Fig. 29 Pattalophyllia grumi ( Catullo, 1852) , as figured in Alloiteau & Tissier (1958, as holotype of Vivesastraea villattae Alloiteau & Tissier, 1958 ), Paleocene of France. A, cross view of corallum; B, longitudinal view; scale bar: 7 mm.

Dimensions. d (min)= 9–21 mm; d (max)=11.6– 45 mm; s=up to 192+s7; s/mm=5–7/2.; in a corallite of around 10 mm in diameter around 80 septa occur; there are about 120 septa in a corallite of around 20 mm.

Description. Solitary, turbinate, ceratoid, or patellate. Costosepta thick and compact in older cycles, distinctly thinner, subcompact to porous in younger cycles. Thirty to about 50 septa reach the axial region. Septal flanks strongly beaded. Anastomosis frequently present. Pali very elongate, irregularly in front of all septal cycles. Columella well-developed, spongy or net-like. Synapticulae present, more frequent in the vicinity of the wall. Endothecal dissepiments very abundant. Wall synapticulothecal to synapticulo-parathecal, septoparathecal in places. Epithecal wall can be present. Microstructure is of the agariciid type.

Type locality of species. Oligocene of Italy (Monte Grumi) .

Distribution. Campanian of northern Spain (Torallola), Paleocene of Austria, Paleocene-Eocene of France, Lower Eocene of Egypt, Eocene of Spain, Middle Eocene of Mexico (San Juan Formation), Upper Eocene of Germany (Bavaria), Eocene-Oligocene of Italy, Upper Oligocene of Iran (Abadeh).
