elements consisting of cups ranging in form from platose to
erect and exhibiting a plane of symmetry. In an encrusting
mode bushes form that include irregular dichotomous tuningfork
shaped internal structures, more or less subdivided, and
occupying the total thickness of the skeletal element. Filaments
are randomly arranged throughout the wall, except in

to the encrustation. The filaments are filled by
microspar or diagenetic iron oxides.Wall fibrose hyaline, yellowish,
sometimes dark-coloured.
