Solenopora

The extinct Solenoporaceae have traditionally been interpreted as a group of red algae ancestral to the Corallinales.[4]

The genus from which they take their name, Solenopora, originates in the Ordovician.[5] Unlike the Corallinaceae, this family has large vegetative cells and an undifferentiated thallus.[5] Additionally there are external, non-calcified sporangia.[6]

The differences in structure suggest that the holotype is not an alga at all, but rather is a chaetetid sponge. Post-Palaeozoic specimens therefore require re-classification.[7] However, some algal taxa are still classified within the genus.[8]

Some specimens of algal Solenopora retain an original pink colouration, which is banded with growth stages of the fossil; this is produced by boron-containing hydrocarbons.[8]

The solenoporaceae mineralized with calcite.[9]

Other genera within the Solenoporaceae

Although the following other genera have been included in this family, their status is uncertain due to the loose definition of the family.[3][7]

  • Dendronella Moussavian and Senowbari-Daryan 1988
  • Elianella
  • Marinella Pfender 1939
  • Metasolenopora Pia 1930
  • Parachaetetes Deninger 1906
  • Pycnoporidium Yabe and Toyama 1928
  • Solenoporella Rothpletz
  • Tauristorea Senowbari-Daryan and Link 2005
gollark: `env` here contains modified FS functions. The `init` thing there os.runs shell. Inside said shell, the FS functions are normal.```lualocal env = make_environment(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides)if type(init) == "table" and init.URL then init = fetch(init.URL) endlocal out, err = load(init or fetch "https://pastebin.com/raw/wKdMTPwQ", "@init.lua", "t", env)```
gollark: Also, it doesn't, as tables are hashtables or whatever.
gollark: So what?
gollark: Removing the setfenving and passing the `environment` straight to `load` seems somehow to make it even more broken.
gollark: Doesn't work.
