That's interesting though, im totally cool if the gave use a gastropod and asked us to specify wat class, but how could we prepare for a genus we dont know?
Also, 2 questions on corals:
1. Is hexagonaria a horn coral? I know its colonial, but on petrified wood museum, it said it was a horn coral....
2. Is Favosites or Septastrea Honeycomb Coral? They both look like it....
Opps...3. Wat was the time range of Septastrea....grr i hate making pages for such obscure invertebrates
so little info on the web...
Okay. I know this is not really relevant, but it's just a pet peeve of mine. The correct grammar is "...so like 5
genera". Genera is the plural of genus. Sorry... that just irks me the most.
1. Umm... I'm not sure Hexagonaria is a horn coral. In the petrified wood museum, it said "Solitary rugose corals are called horn corals. Hexagonaria is a colonial rugose coral that was an important reef builder during the Devonian." SInce Hexagonaria is a colonial coral, it is probably not a horn coral. Also, if you look at many of the pictures of Hexagonaria, they are not horn corals.
2. Well I'm positive Favosites is a honeycomb coral. I barely have any information on Septastrea myself, however looking at the pictures...
Favosites:
Septastrea:
From the pictures, you can tell that though both of them are honeycombish, Septastrea has the septae (?) arranged in the honeycomb things... yeah...
3. I have down Pliocene (
