Descriptions and remarks

Emended diagnosis. Dendritic boring system in calcareous skeletal substrates with a series of main axes that give the trace a lobed appearance. Inner branches may anastomose or leave blind-ending branches. Trace closely prostrate and with many contacts to the substrate surface.


Branched, network.
