'''''Cornulites''''' is a genus of cornulitid tubeworms. Their shells have vesicular wall structure, and are both externally and internally annulated. They usually occur as encrusters on various shelly fossils. Their fossils are known from the Middle Ordovician to the Carboniferous.<ref name=Vinnetal2010>{{cite journal | author = Vinn, O. | year = 2010 | title = Adaptive strategies in the evolution of encrusting tentaculitoid tubeworms | journal = Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology | volume = 292 | issue = 1–2 | pages = 211–221 | doi=10.1016/j.palaeo.2010.03.046 | bibcode = 2010PPP...292..211V }}</ref><ref name=VinnMutvei2009>{{cite journal | author = Vinn, O. |author2=Mutvei, H. | year = 2009 | title = Calcareous tubeworms of the Phanerozoic | journal = Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences | volume = 58 | issue = 4 | pages = 286–296 | url = http://www.kirj.ee/public/Estonian_Journal_of_Earth_Sciences/2009/issue_4/earth-2009-4-286-296.pdf | accessdate = 2012-09-16 | doi=10.3176/earth.2009.4.07 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name='Vinn2013'>{{cite journal | doi = 10.4267/2042/51214 | title = Cornulitid tubeworms from the Ordovician of eastern Baltic | year = 2013 | author = Vinn, O | journal = Carnets de Géologie | volume = | pages = 131–138 | url = http://paleopolis.rediris.es/cg/CG2013_L03/index.html | accessdate = 2013-07-25 | doi-access = free | url-access = subscription | archive-date = 2013-09-06 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130906001945/http://paleopolis.rediris.es/cg/CG2013_L03/index.html | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref name='VinnWilson2013b'>{{cite journal | doi = 10.4267/2042/53034 | title = Silurian cornulitids of Estonia (Baltica) | year = 2013 | author = Vinn, O | author2 = Wilson, M.A. | journal = Carnets de Géologie | volume = | pages = 357–368 | url = http://paleopolis.rediris.es/cg/CG2013_A09/index.html | accessdate = 2013-12-27 | doi-access = free | archive-date = 2013-12-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131227193100/http://paleopolis.rediris.es/cg/CG2013_A09/index.html | url-status = dead }}</ref>
