Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the Tabulate Corals, a diverse group of Paleozoic corals long classified under a single, overarching category. Through microscopic examination of hundreds of species, this book presents a fresh perspective on the structure and evolution of Tabulate Corals. Leveraging the latest scientific advancements, the author challenges the traditional classification of Tabulates as a distinct order and instead suggests that they be divided into multiple distinct groups, some belonging to the Zoantharia order and others to the Alcyonaria. This division is supported by detailed descriptions of minute structures and analysis of soft tissue remains in some species. This book offers a groundbreaking contribution to the understanding of Tabulate Coral taxonomy, revealing their true diversity and phylogenetic relationships. Its insights will be of great interest to paleontologists and evolutionary biologists studying the origins and evolution of these ancient marine invertebrates.
