Growth and reproduction in the tabulate Favosites forbesi from the Silurian of Gotland

Pages 181-188 | Published online: 06 Jan 2010
 

Abstract

The polygonal protocorallite in circumrotatory colonies and the auloporoid stage in hemis-pheroidal colonies of the tabulate Favosites forbesi Milne-Edwards & Haime may indicate the presence of asexual as well as sexual reproduction in favositids. The supposedly asexual phase is compared with gemmule formation in demosponges. Growth within colonies of Favosites forbesi is lateral and not intermural.
