Gregarious growth versus colonial habit in the rugose coral family Geyerophyllidae Minato, 1955

The family Geyerophyllidae Minato, 1955 includes corals having clinotabulae, lonsdaleoid dissepiments and a variable complex axial structure formed as an extension of the cardinal septum. Included in the family are four genera originally considered to have a colonial (fasciculate) growth habit - Car...
