"Flower" corals ID


Quer

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Last weekend, in the limestone rudist-coral reef I'm working on I found this beautiful piece (not fully prepared yet). Upper-Cretaceous (Maastrichtean) strata.

 

I'm aware that corals ID is very difficult, so I shall be well content if family or genus ID is possible.

 

Thanks,

Columella is much too big for Columactinastrea and pali are lacking. I rather guess Actinastrea.
