Material.

BSPG 1947 XVI 18, 1947 XVI 19, 1991 X 82, 1991 X 83, 1991 X 84; three thin sections.

Remarks.

In Löser et al. (2013 c) this material was assigned to Aulosmilia? bipartita and Aulosmilia? consobrina . More recent research on the very variable genus (e. g. Löser et al. 2019) has shown that species must be understood in a much wider concept. Hence, the material is now nearly entirely assigned to Aulosmilia parkinsoni .
