English
Noun
tabularium (plural tabularia)
- (zoology) A central calicle of a coral or hydroid.
1940 January, Erwin C. Stumm, “Upper Devonian Rugose Corals of the Nevada Limestone”, in Journal of Paleontology, volume 14, number 1, page 64, column 1:The unusually long minor septa and the restricted tabularia are features that I have not seen in any other species of Prismatophyllum.
1979, E N K Clarkson, Invertebrate Palaeontology and Evolution, London, Boston, Mass., Sydney, N.S.W.: George Allen & Unwin, published 1983, →ISBN, page 74, columns 1–2:Tabulae are transverse plates which may be flat, convex or concave. They usually occupy a central space or tabularium, and if there is an axial complex they join with it. […] Dissepiments, the small plates usually found towards the edge of the corallum, lie peripheral to the tabularium and like the tabulae are constructed of fibro-normal tissue.
2007, Jerzy Fedorowski, E. Wayne Bamber, Calvin H. Stevens, Lower Permian Colonial Rugose Corals, Western and Northwestern Pangaea: Taxonomy and Distribution, Ottawa, Ont.: NRC Research Press, →ISBN, page 149, column 1:If further investigation shows that clinotabulae are absent from the Geyerophyllidae and biform tabularia are developed, then the Geyerophyllidae should be placed in synonymy with the Petalaxidae.
