Heterotrypa

Specimen Photo Specimen Photo

Heterotrypa sp. in longitudinal (left) and tangential (right) sections. Field of view is 1.0 mm. SMH collection.

Heterotrypa is frondose, ramose, or less commonly encrusting, and it often bears monticules. Typically, endozone has few diaphragms, but diaphragms are commonly regular and closely spaced in exozone. Walls vary in thickness. Mesozooids are often common, but may be absent, and are commonly beaded proximally and tend to terminate within exozone. Heterotrypa has two types of styles. One type occurs within all or part of exozone, lies between zooecial corners, and may be offset from the wall. The other type is larger, starts in both endozone and exozone, lies at zooecial corners, and typically terminates within the exozone.
