Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Automatic taxobox
Шаблон:Stereo image Favosites is an extinct genus of tabulate coral characterized by polygonal closely packed corallites (giving it the common name "honeycomb coral").[1] The walls between corallites are pierced by pores known as mural pores which allowed transfer of nutrients between polyps. Favosites, like many corals, thrived in warm sunlit seas, feeding by filtering microscopic plankton with their stinging tentacles and often forming part of reef complexes.[2] The genus had a worldwide distribution from the Late Ordovician to Late Permian.[3]
Distribution
Favosites had a vast distribution, and its fossils can be found on every continent (except Antarctica).[3]
