TERMINOLOGY AND MEASUREMENT METHODS The terminology of bulbous corallum shapes follows Young & Scrutton (1991) and Young & Elias (1995).
Scrutton (1989) distinguished ontogenetic (visible development of the corallite), astogenetic (apparent development of the corallum), cyclomorphic (cycling of growth bands), and topomorphic (caused by environmental impacts) variation, expressed at the corallum level.
