Graticula, formerly incorrectly named

coralline alga.[2] They form the framework of reef rocks in the Silurian of Gotland, from the Högklint, Slite and Halla groups.[3]

The Graticulaceae closely resemble the Cretaceous

Solenoporaceae, and are only really differentiated by their stratigraphic position.[2]

Graticula mineralized with calcite.[4][clarification needed]
