Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History), Geology. • » ..w/\n HK-^vvi •ffi"T« *V _v/*i' ^ ^r^t 157. m • ** Figs 155-158 Reptdmultelea auris sp. nov., BMNH D46049, holotype, Turonian, lata Zone, Ballard Point, Dorset, England; 155, autozooids, eleozooids and kenozooids, x 35; 156, operculate autozooids, kenozooids, intramural eleozooid (left), and evidence of regeneration after damage in upper left autozooid, x 72; 157, autozooidal operculum, x 240; 158, overgrowth origin, x 56. diaphragms not observed. Intramurally budded eleozooids (Fig. 156) common, apertures trifoliate like those of primary eleozooids, elevated distally so that plane of aperture faces proximally. Kenozooids (Figs 155-156) abundant, small, commonly paired on either side of the autozooidal apertures and semi- circular or crescent-shaped in outline. Eleozooids (Fig. 161) infrequent, scattered, frontally elon- gate, typically slightly longer but narrower than the autozoo- ids, narrow and pointed distally. Aperture small, longitudinally elongate, trifoliate in outline, about twice as long as wide, considerably shorter and narrower than auto- zooidal apertures; apertural rim moderately raised. Opercula not observed. Intramural buds unknown. Gonozooids known from a single broken example which is missing the proximal part; frontal shape apparently subcircu- lar. Ooeciopore transversely elliptical, slightly more than 2 x wider than long. Atrial ring present.
