Calcareous spicules closely similar to those previously reported in several species of Heliolites, have been found in another heliolitid species, Squameolites junggarensis Lin et Wang, from a clayey limestone of the lower part of Kuimov Formation, of Homerian (Wenlock) age, in the western part of the Gorny Altai, Siberia. The sclerites are associated with ‘microspheres’, identified also in colonies of an unidentified species of Propora. It is suggested that the microspheres associated with the tabulate corals were their photoautotrophic symbionts.

来自西伯利亚Gorny Altai志留系地层的日针石中的螺旋体和微球

钙质针状体与先前报道的几种日光岩物种中的钙质针状体非常相似，是在西部荷马里安时代（温洛克）的奎莫夫组下部泥质灰岩中发现的另一种日光岩物种，Squameolites junggarensis Lin et Wang。西伯利亚戈尔尼·阿尔泰（Gorny Altai）的一部分。硬钙质与“微球”有关，在未鉴定的Propora物种的菌落中也鉴定出了这些微球。有人认为与表格珊瑚有关的微球是它们的自养共生体。
