- The present page contains few serious errors... * Phacellophyllum Gurich, 1909, is a junior synonym of Thamnophyllum Penecke, 1894; in case of synonymy the principle of priority states that the senior synonym should be used - in the present case Thamnophyllum wins with Phacellophyllum unless you can prove the two names are not synonyma. ** Anyway both names pertain to genera of the extinct Devonian family Phillipsastreidae, (and not to the Carboniferous family Lithostrotionidae) of the order Rugosa and not Tabulata. *** Thamnophyllum Penecke, 1894 (and its junior synonym Phacellophyllum Gurich, 1909) are colonial, dendroid to fasciculate corals, with horseshoe dissepiments and septa of trabecular fans, as revealed in thin sections. **** The cited link to Masutomi & Hamada, 1966, illustrates an uncut solitary rugosan, with attached old label naming Ceriopora verrucosa from "Gerolstein bei Eifel" in Rhenish Devonian in Germany; it is obviously a solitary rugose coral - as it is uncut its taxonomic position, not to say affinity with the Phillipsastreidae and Thamnophyllum, must remain dubious... ***** I have no idea how Phacellophyllum caespitosum looks like, as the following link is to a void page...[1]
