Taxonomy

Citation: Trigonastrum Haeckel 1887

Rank: genus

Basionym: Trigonastrum

Catalog entries: Trigonastrum

Original description: Porodiscida with three forked, chambered arms, connected by a patagium. (Arms and angles between them either equal or unequal.)

The genus Trigonastrum differs from the preceding Chitonastrum, its ancestral form, in the development of a patagium between the arms. It bears therefore to the latter the same relation that Euchitonia does to Rhopalastrum.
