Monticules are typically present and are conical to elongated, and they typically have clusters of styles and mesozooids. Zooecia contain both diaphragms and cystiphragms. Cystiphragms are typically radially arranged around monticules, on the sides of zooecia closest to monticules, rather than on the far side of the monticule as in <em>Prasopora<\/em> (this is most easily seen in tangential section). Styles are generally short and limited to thick-walled regions, but may be rare or absent in some species. Mesozooids may be common to absent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>McFarlan (1931)<\/em>: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8230;characteristic are the granulose wall structure and the small, usually numerous acanthopores, which lack the central lumen and concentric structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bassler (1911)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Originally this genus was the resting place for a most heterogeneous lot of species, but to-day, through the work of Ulrich, its definite characters, so clearly shown in thin sections, have been so well indicated that there is no longer any excuse for erroneous generic identification.  The generic characters are, first, the occurrence of cystiphragms in the zooecial tubes, both in the axial and peripheral regions, and, second, the peculiarly granulose wall structure pertaining to both zooecia and mesopores.  This combination of characters has been found in species ranging through all the various forms of growth save the bifoliate.  The mesopores also, when present, are variable in number.  The acanthopores are usually small and numerous, but differ in their microscopic features from those of all the other families of the Trepostomata.  The structure of the acanthopores in <em>Monticulipora<\/em> is much like that of the granulose walls, but the distinct central perforation and concentric rings of tissue seen in so many forms are wanting entirely.<\/li>\n<li>Genotype.\u2014<em>Monticulipora mammulata<\/em> D\u2019Orbigny.  Upper Ordovician (Maysville) of the Ohio Basin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Nickles &#038; Bassler (1900)<\/em>: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monticulipora D\u2019Orbigny: Zoarium massy, lobate, or lamellate, incrusting or free; monticules usually present; zooecia prismatic, usually thin-walled, with cystiphragms both in mature and immature regions; apertures polygonal; mesopores few or wanting; acanthopores small, generally numerous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Foord (1883)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>External Characters<\/strong>: Zoarium massive, lobate, laminar, incrusting, and sometimes irregularly frondescent. Surface sometimes smooth, usually tuberculated. Monticules closely approximated, usually conical, often elongated or compressed. Cells small, their diameter varying in different species from 1\/80 to 1\/139 of an inch, polygonal, and with thin walls; generally groups of cells slightly larger than the average are distributed at regular intervals among those of the ordinary size. Not infrequently a few smaller (younger?) cells occupy the summits of the monticules, and they may occasionally be detected between the cells occupying the hollow interspaces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internal Characters<\/strong>: Tubes in the &#8220;immature&#8221; zones, with very thin walls, and crossed by straight or oblique diaphragms; and often there are large cystoid diaphragms present. In the mature zones  the walls become very slightly thickened, and small spiniform tubuli can usually be detected; while numerous cystoid diaphragms are always developed in the greater number of the tubes. Immediately above the point of gemmation, the young tube is crossed by numerous straight diaphragms giving it the appearance of an interstitial tube. Subsequently the diaphragms become less crowded, and the young tube assumes the characters of an ordinary cell. The process of gemmation seems to have taken place more especially at certain levels, since tangential sections taken at different heights may show in one comparatively numerous small tubes, intercalated among the ordinary cells, while another may show but few or none of them. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/accordion] [\/accordions]<\/p><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"height: 300px; width: 800px;\" align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"border-right: 15px solid white; float: left; width: 250px;\">\n<p align=\"center\"><em>M. mammulata<em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/atlas\/bryozoa\/stenolaemata\/trepostomatida\/monticuliporidae\/monticulipora\/monticulipora-mammulata\/\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/monticulipora-mammulata-250-black.png?resize=250%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-right: 15px solid white; float: left; width: 250px;\">\n<p align=\"center\"><em>M. molesta<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/atlas\/bryozoa\/stenolaemata\/trepostomatida\/monticuliporidae\/monticulipora\/monticulipora-molesta\/\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/monticulipora-molesta-250-black.png?resize=250%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classification Phylum: Bryozoa Class: Stenolaemata Order: Trepostomatida Family: Monticuliporidae Genera: Monticulipora d&#8217;Orbigny, 1850 Cincinnatian Species: Monticulipora mammulata, Monticulipora molesta [accordions title=&#8221;&#8221; disabled=&#8221;false&#8221; active=&#8221;1&#8243; autoheight=&#8221;false&#8221; collapsible=&#8221;true&#8221;] [accordion title=&#8221;Taxonomic Details&#8221;] Type species: Monticulipora mammullata (d&#8217;Orbigny, 1850) Species in Cincinnatian of Ohio, Indiana, &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/atlas\/bryozoa\/stenolaemata\/trepostomatida\/monticuliporidae\/monticulipora\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><em>Monticulipora<\/em><\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":2457,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3558","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P3T22h-Vo","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3558"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13761,"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3558\/revisions\/13761"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ordovicianatlas.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
