Example sentencesExamples
- The stromatoporoids had massive calcareous skeletons that are preserved as rather conspicuous fossils.
- The main victims were the major reef-building organisms: the stromatoporoid sponges, and rugose and tabulate corals.
- Other faunal elements include colonial and solitary corals, encrusting bryozoans, stromatoporoids, and rare brachiopods.
- Nevertheless the rugose corals remained subsidiary components of reefs relative to tabulate corals and stromatoporoids.
- However, in many reefal carbonates stromatoporoids are the only recognizable fossils available to the biostratigrapher.

Origin

Late 19th century: from modern Latin Stromatopora (genus name), from stroma, stromat- 'layer, covering' + -pora.
