Paleoenvironment of Faksephyllia Representatives of the genus Faksephyllia occurred in shallow- to deep-water environments: - Specimens of Faksephyllia have been reported from carbonate rocks of both low-energy rocky to gravelly shores and low-energy shallow subtidal lagoonal areas (Lower Oligocene of Austria; see SANDERS & BARON- SZABO, 2007); Faksephyllia occurred in association with scleractinians such as the colonial genera Acropora, Actinacis, Agathiphyllia, Cladocora, Colpophyllia, Pavona, and Stylocoenia. - Specimens of Faksephyllia were recorded forming coral thickets/coral mounds in depths of 50–80 m (e.g., Danian of Greenland; see FLORIS, 1972; BERNECKER & WEIDLICH, 1990); Faksephyllia occurred in association with scleractinians such as the colonial genera Dendrophyllia and? Lophelia, and solitary genera such as Bathycyathus, Caryophyllia, Desmophyllum, Flabellum, Parasmilia, Stephanocyathus, Trochocyathus, and Wellsotrochus. - Faksephyllia was found in basin reefs at a suggested paleodepth ... : Published as part of Baron-Szabo, Rosemarie C., 2016, New taxonomic, stratigraphic, and geographic information on the genus Faksephyllia Floris, 1972 (Scleractinia; Caryophylliidae); first records from the Oligocene of Austria, Germany, and Italy, pp. 526-540 in Zootaxa 4154 (5) on page 538, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4154.5.2, http://zenodo.org/record/267017 ...
