Tabulophyllum is an extinct genus of horn coral belonging to the order Stariidae and family Kyphophyllidae.[1] Specimens have been found in Devonian beds in Australia[2] North America,[3] and most other major areas of Devonian outcrops. The genus was highly adaptable to a variety of substrates, including muddy, sandy, and firm substrates.[4] The genus had a low-magnesium calcite skeleton and may have flourished in times of "calcite seas".[5] There is evidence from fossil reefs in the Onate Formation of New Mexico, US that the genus favored the receptaculitid Sphaerospongia as a firm substrate for growth.[6]
