“…Discussion. The material is similar to that investigated by Rohart (1988) and Coen-Aubert (2017). As discussed by the latter author, Argutastrea briceae occupies a marginal position in the genus Argutastrea.…”

“…Discussion. The corallum of Meerbüsch is related to Spinophyllum spongiosum (Schlüter, 1889), type species of the genus, well known in the Givetian of Germany and Belgium and investigated among others by Birenheide & Lütte (1990) and Coen-Aubert (2002, 2017. The specimen described herein differs from this taxon by much less septa for a relatively small diameter, by a particular tabularium and by septa thin and locally discontinuous at the periphery.…”

Twenty taxa of Lower Givetian rugose corals have been investigated in the Dreimühlen Formation from the Meerbüsch quarry, in the Eifel Hills. The fauna consists mostly of solitary coralla associated with some fasciculate specimens of Disphyllum caespitosum (Goldfuss, 1826) and with large massive colonies of Argutastrea briceae (Rohart, 1988). The genus Marennophyllum n. gen. is introduced with Cystiphylloides marennense Coen-Aubert, 2019 as type species to include the solitary species previously assigned to the fasciculate genus Cystiphylloides Chapman, 1893. Three species are new: Marennophyllum wenningi n. sp., Grypophyllum schroederi n. sp. and Macgeea mistiaeni n.sp. The stratigraphic distribution of the material observed in Meerbüsch quarry is compared with that of the Middle Devonian in the Eifel Hills as a whole, the southern part of Belgium, and other countries of Western Europe. Some species such as Acanthophyllum heterophyllum (Milne-Edwards & Haime, 1851), A. vermiculare (Goldfuss, 1826), Grypophyllum convolutum (Wedekind, 1925), Stringophyllum acanthicum (Frech, 1885) and Aristophyllum luetti Coen-Aubert, 1997 are also present at the northern margin of Gondwana (Ma’der in Morocco, Zemmour in Mauritania, and Alborz Mountains in Iran). The occurrence of Heliophyllum cf. cribellum Oliver & Sorauf, 2002 in Meerbüsch quarry suggests an Eastern North American influence.

Cystiphylloides marennense n. sp., C. minimum (Wedekind, 1922), Atelophyllum emsti (Wedekind, 1922), Thamnophyllum godefroidi n. sp., Spinophyllum longiseptatum (Lütte, 1984) and Iowaphyllum sp. have been mainly collected on the south side of the Dinant Synclinorium, close to the boundary between the Lower and the Middle Givetian. Indeed, this material comes mostly from the lower part of the Mont d’Haurs Formation which is characterized by a high biodiversity. The genus Atelophyllum Wedekind, 1925 has been preferred to Mesophyllum Schlüter, 1889 and Lekanophyllum Wedekind, 1924 as the holotype of its type species Atelophyllum emsti has been figured in both transverse and longitudinal sections. A colony of Iowaphyllum is observed for the first time in the Givetian of Belgium. As a whole, the fauna of the Mont d’Haurs Formation is widely distributed in various areas of the Old World Realm (Europe, Asia and Australia). However, it shows strong affinities with the neighbouring countries of Belgium and especially with the Givetian rugose corals of the Eifel Hills, the Bergisches Land and the Sauerland in Germany.
