DEF

One of the initial septa (vertical plates within the coral skeleton) which occur in rugose corals (Rugosa).

OBS

When the coral is very young a single proseptum develops in the calyce. This soon separates into two, one called the "cardinal septum," the other the "counter-cardinal septum." Other septa then follow to make up the arrangement of septa.
