† alveoliten.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: alveolus n., -ite suffix¹.

Etymology: < alveolus n. + -ite suffix¹, after scientific Latin Alveolites ( Lamarck Système des animaux sans vertèbres (1801) 375). Compare French alvéolite (1801 in the same passage as the Latin). N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation as (æ̆lvī·ŏləit, æ·lviŏləit) /ælˈviːəlaɪt/, /ˈælviːəlaɪt/.

Palaeontology. Obsolete.

A fossil of the genus Alveolites of tabulate, branching, or encrusting corals found in Silurian and Devonian deposits, having a distinctive pitted surface.

1818 Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 1 384 l have seen the thoracic plate of this animal so entirely covered by the Alveolite, as to have the eyes and stemmata concealed so as to be perfectly blind.

1830 J. Parkinson Outl. Oryctol. (ed. 2) 70 This alveolite has the appearance of a long, rolled fossil madrepore, with cells, not projecting as in the madrepora porites.

1888 Encycl. Brit. IX. 377/2 Those massive forms of the early Tertiaries whose accumulation in particular localities produced what is now known as the Alveolite limestone.

1899 Contrib. Canad. Palæontol. 4 i. 21 In division 4..is found in abundance an Alveolite which was identified by the late Mr. Billings with this species.
