Genus

Nododendrina Vogel, Golubic et Brett, 1987

Taxon description

Wisshak et al., 2019a

Microboring; substrate calcareous; tracemaker invertebrate?

Wisshak, 2017

Emended diagnosis: Rosette-shaped boring system in calcareous skeletal substrates with one or more largely prostrate plexuses of branching and anastomosing galleries emerging from an often vertically oriented globular node below the point of entry, and connected to the substrate surface via numerous small apertures.

Buatois et al., 2017

Category of architectural design: 2.75. Dendritic and rosetted borings.

Knaust, 2012a

Branched, rosetted.
