Remarks. The genus Actinastrea was revised by Löser (2012a). Generally, it only occurs in the Upper Cretaceous. Actinastrea differs from the similar Stelidioseris by the presence of large isolated trabeculae in the intercalicular space. In Stelidioseris this space is occupied by short confluent costae. The present specimen shows all the characteristics of Actinastrea . Because of the long stratigraphic gap, the present material is here assigned to this genus with reservation.
