__FORCETOC__
==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''CORONA''' -  first cycle of chamberlets enveloping an embryonal apparatus completely, at least in one plane of sectionning, as in ''Discocyclina''. 


''Remarks'': The term may be useful in biometry when describing the relation between the diameter of the embryonic apparatus and the number of chamberlets in the immediately succeeding growth stage. See also: [[periembryonic chamberlets]].
