Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pyritized Paraspirifer bownockeri fossil brachiopod with encrusting auloporid corals from the Devonian of Ohio, USA.

Auloporids are a group of extinct tabulate corals. They consist of calcareous colonies of hard substrate-encrusting, trumpet-shaped corallites. They first appear in the Ordovician and go extinct in the Permian. The auloporids seen here are encrusting a spiriferid brachiopod from Ohio's famous Silica Formation, a richly fossiliferous unit.

Classification of corals: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Tabulata, Auloporidae

Classification of brachiopod: Animalia, Brachiopoda, Articulata (a.k.a. Rhynchonelliformea), Spiriferida, Hysterolitidae

Stratigraphy: Silica Formation, Givetian Stage, upper Middle Devonian

Locality: quarry in the Sylvania area, far-northern Lucas County, northwestern Ohio, USA
