Description
Laminae extensive, thick (of thickness comparable to gallery height) of tripartite, ordinicellular, microreticulate or tubulate microstructure, Pillars postlike, commonly spool shaped, confined to interlaminar spaces, not superposed, compact or obscurely cellular. Commonly irregular, incrusting in growth, with algal interlayers. [The laminae may appear to be stranded, showing less opaque zones. Several layers of cellules in the laminae may give the appearance of microreticulation. In tangential section, the thick skeletal material may appear to be tubulate (described as felted by Kosareva, 1976). The genus has been confused with Synthetostroma, but in this genus the pillars are well superposed.]
