Descriptions and remarks
Branched, unbranched, rosetted.
Category of architectural design: 2.75. Dendritic and rosetted borings.
Emended diagnosis-. Dendrinid boring system in calcareous skeletal substrates, with shallow and deeply penetrating canals that radiate away from a central node. Shallow canals dominantly horizontal and may bifurcate. Deeply penetrating canals extend vertically in a straight to slightly curved path and may bifurcate.
Diagnosis: Dendrinid boring system with shallow and deeply penetrating canals that radiate away from a central polyhedral node. Shallow canals are dominantly horizontal and may bifurcate. Deeply penetrating canals extend vertically in straight to slightly curved path and may bifurcate.
