摘要
从６０年代开始，我国学者陆续发表了异珊瑚的研究成果，建立１３个属，描述１６０余种。所发现属种数量已大大超过国外学者所描述范围，并且在异珊瑚分类、骨骼微细构造及隔壁演变规律研究等方面都取得长足的进展。特别是发现具３个隔壁的异珊瑚，对异珊瑚的隔壁发育方式及各属间隔壁变异关系有了较清楚地揭示。在分类方面可将异珊瑚划分为具内沟和不具内沟的两个系列。异珊瑚在我国产出时代为泥盆纪早期至石炭纪晚期。我国的异珊瑚绝大多数产于早石炭世大塘期的海相地层内，常与Ｙｕａｎｏｐｈｙｌｕｍ带的皱纹珊瑚共生。
Since 1960′s,13 genera and over 160 species have been found and published by Chinese authors, the number of which is more than that found by alien authors. Chinese scientists have gotten outstanding achievement in the classification, microstructure and septal evolution of the heterocoral. After we found a kind of heterocoral with 3 septa, the septal variety of the different genera and the developmental model of the septa have been clearly revealed. The heterocoral can be divided into two series, one with fossula and another without fossula. The geologic age of the heterocoral should be from the Early Devonian to the Late Carboniferous in main land China. In our country most of the heterocoral are found at the Datang stage of Early Carboniferous and they friquently associate with the elements of the rugose coral in the Yuanophyllum zone, so the heterocoral is an important fossil group in classifying the lower carboniferous of China.
