Pycnostylus Coral with Favositdae Coral Helderberg Limestone, found Central City area, Somerset County, PA; probably transported from Bedford County, PA Devonian Age (~400 Million Years ago) Pycnostylus Ecology: stationary intermediate-level epifaunal microcarnivore. The genus Pycnostylus differs from Amplexus only in the circumstance that it grows in colonies of compound and apparently fasciculated corallites. Favosites is an extinct genus of tabulate coral characterized by polygonal closely packed corallites (giving it the common name "honeycomb coral"). The walls between corallites -

Favosites Coral Helderberg Limestone, found Central City area, Somerset County, PA; probably transported from Bedford County, PA Devonian Age (~400 Million Years ago) Favosites is an extinct genus of tabulate coral characterized by polygonal closely packed corallites (giving it the common name "honeycomb coral"). The walls between corallites are pierced by pores known as mural pores which allowed transfer of nutrients between polyps. Favosites, like all coral, thrived in warm sunlit seas, forming colorful reefs, feeding by filtering microscopic plankton with their stinging tentacles. -

Rugose (Horn) Coral, Arizona Payson, Arizona,USA Devonian age (~380 million years ago) The coral has long ago agatized or fossilized but still retains the coral horn pattern that makes these pieces unique in the horn coral family. The Rugosa, also called the Tetracorallia, are an extinct order of solitary and colonial corals that were abundant in Middle Ordovician to Late Permian seas. Solitary rugosans (e.g., Caninia, Lophophyllidium, Neozaphrentis, Streptelasma) are often referred to as horn corals because of a unique horn-shaped chamber with a wrinkled, or rugose, wall. Some solita -
