Aulastraeoporidae indet. 1

Plate 11: figs 8-10

Material.

BSPG 1947 XVI 66; two thin sections.

Dimensions.

(BSPG 1947 XVI 66).

Description.

Astreoid colony with small corallites. No septal symmetry. The wall is incomplete, septothecal. Endotheca well developed with numerous small dissepiments.

Remarks.

The assignation of the unique specimen to a genus is difficult. It can be compared to Preverastraea Beauvais, 1976. Although Preverastraea varies in its corallite arrangement, it has always a wall that is incomplete in the present material.
