Baculopora Wyse Jackson 1988
Description
Genus Baculopora Wyse Jackson, 1988
TYPE SPECIES. — Vincularia megastoma M’Coy, 1844 by original designation. Mississippian; Ireland.
DIAGNOSIS. — Acanthocladiid forming delicate irregularly branching colonies; branches divide, or develop as lateral branches; branches straight or gently flexulous and taper distally, with four to seven rows of autozooecia on main and lateral branches; reverse surface longitudinally striated with microstylets; autozooecial bases pentagonal to hexagonal (diamond-shaped) (modified after Wyse Jackson, 1988, p. 198, Wyse Jackson, 1996, p. 140).
OCCURRENCE. — Two definite species are known: Baculopora megastoma (M’Coy, 1844) from the Mississippian of Ireland, Germany, Russia, and B. redondensis n. sp. from the Mississippian of France (present paper). Baculopora sp. was mentioned from the Mississippian of Mongolia (Morozova et al. 2003: 131).
COMPARISON
Baculopora Wyse Jackson, 1988 resembles Ichthyorachis M’Coy, 1844 in possessing four to six rows of autozooecia on branches, but lacks regularly offset or opposite secondary lateral branches.
R EMARKS
The species Pseudohornera ossipovae Schulga-Nesterenko, 1955 from the upper Visean (Mississippian) of Russia coincides in its morphology and dimensions with Baculopora megastoma (M’Coy, 1844). Therefore, Pseudohornera ossipovae is synonymised with the latter species.
