| 描述 石柱珊瑚是一種廣為人知的四射珊瑚，有許多生活在一起的個體，它們是群體珊瑚，珊瑚單體的輪廓為圓形，彼此不接觸。四射珊瑚最初形成6個原生隔膜﹐後生的隔膜數和觸手數是4或4的倍數﹐其外壁表面常有環狀皺紋。該物種主要生活在3.59億年前的石炭紀時期，並在古生代末期滅絕。這個特殊的樣本是在北威爾士的安格爾西島上發現的，突出了石灰岩中眾多的個體標本。 | Description Lithostrotion junceum is a well known species of rugose coral, exhibiting numerous individual specimens living together, they were a colonial coral, the corallites were circular in outline and not in contact with each other. Due to this and the random orientation of the fauna upon death, the rock is sometimes referred to as “Spaghetti Rock”. This species lived predominantly during the Carboniferous period from 359 million years ago and became extinct toward the end of the Paleozoic era. This particular sample was found on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, highlighting the numerous individual specimens within the limestone. |
