Hexagonaria (compound rugose coral)

Hexagonaria

Hexagonaria

Hexagonaria has tabulate colonies with large numbers of small but massive corallites. The numerous thickened septa do not extend into the centre and are joined together by a wide dissepimentarium. In the calyx, above the tabularium, there is a deep, narrow depression. This Hexagonaria is from the Silurian.
