This species is included because Hennig states that it is also found at Faxe. However, 

 I have not been able to identify it with any form known in the Danish Danien. As I have 

 been unable to obtain specimens from Sweden for comparison I have nothing to add to 

 Hennig's description. 



Locality: Danien. Younger Danien. Limhamn. Faxe.

As the now very complete and well-preserved material at hand permits us to see that 

 no pali exist and that the theca is covered by the epithecum which forms slightly curving 

 elongations of the longitudinal axis of the coral, the coral being bent, no doubt exists but 

 that the species in question is a Flabellum and not a Trochocyathus. Nothing further is to 

 be added to v. Koenen's description.

The species belongs to those more commonly found in the coral chalk at Faxe. 



It attains quite a considerable size, up to 30 mm in length, with an average diameter at 

 the edge of the calyx of about 15 mm. 



It is obovate-conical in form, increasing quickly in breadth, with, as a rule, a strongly 

 bent axis. 



The theca is quite thin with no epithecum of importance. The costa are but slightly 

 conspicuous, however, opposite the 12 first septa they are plainly visible. The outer surface 

 is covered with numerous fine granulations irregularly scattered over the entire surface. 

 No basic extension was found and no stem. 



There are 36 — 48 septa, 3 complete cycles and 1 incomplete one in ordines 1 — 4. The 

 septal edge protrudes slightly from the edge of the calyx, then, forming a curve, goes back into 

 the calyx. The edge is entire. There is no columella, but deep down in the coral the free septal
