Descriptor : Width of corallite series (pluricentric corallites)

What is the width of the valleys of colonies which corallites are associated?
Measure the mean distance between walls of the valleys, taking into account thewall.
For widths at the boundary between two states, validate these two states.

Carefull: the value is not applicable for monocentric corallites.

For colonies without corallite series (pluricentrics corallites), di- or tri-centric corallites are not considered as corallite series.
