Amphiastrea cf. woodiae (Gregory, 1930)

Figure 12

Material. MGB 83274, 83334; 4 thin sections.

Dimensions. See Table 8.

Remarks. The material compares well to the type of A. woodiae , but has smaller corallite dimensions. The present material differs from the concept of the genus in having almost no septa in one face of the corallite, what is probably also the result of taphonomic processes.
