Devonian Horn Corals: How do you tell Streptelasma ungula from Stereolasma rectum?
Mediospirifer posted a topic in Fossil ID
I've been going through the fossils I collected over the summer, trying to identify them. I have a lot of horn corals, several of which look like they could be either Streptelasma ungula or Stereolasma rectum: Several of them have matrix filling the calyx and obscuring the detail. With or without that, though, I don't know how to tell them apart! Except that my fossil guide lists Stereolasma as potentially being a little larger. This only rules out a couple of my specimens, though. Can anyone tell me what the diagnostic features of both species are?- 2 replies
