Description Branching ramose thamnasterioid corallum but calices not always distinct. Cylindrical to flattened branches. Radial elements are pennular regularly fenestrate biseptal sheets, often anastomosed and attenuated. Distal edge moniliform. Pennular rims turned toward the distal direction or not, with various degrees of lateral continuity. No palis. Endotheca made of thin dissepiments in the direction of rapid growth and thick tabuloid dissepiments in the direction of slow growth. Synapticules present. Fossa marked in surface or (?) columellar space occupied by a trabecula . No wall. [details]

Description Branching ramose thamnasterioid corallum but calices not always distinct. Cylindrical to flattened branches. Radial elements are pennular regularly fenestrate biseptal sheets, often anastomosed and attenuated. Distal edge moniliform. Pennular rims turned toward the distal direction or not, with various degrees of lateral continuity. No palis. Endotheca made of thin dissepiments in the direction of rapid growth and thick tabuloid dissepiments in the direction of slow growth. Synapticules present.

Remark The "Thamnaraea" sp. recently described from Bulgaria (Tithonian Valanginian interval) by Roniewicz 2008 could be the last apparition of the genus but remains disputable. The possible occurrence of a columella is also disputable. [details]
