“…Works on Early Permian coral faunas in the central Cordillera are numerous; all genera tabulated in Appendix 2, however, are represented in Hoare (1964), Laule (1978), Sando (1984), Stevens (1967), Stevens and Rycerski (1983), and Wilson and Langenheim (1962), supplemented by some unpublished data. The Tethyan coral data are taken from Douglas (1950), Federowski (1986), Fontaine (1986), Minato (1975), Minato and Kato (1965a, b), Yoh and Huang (1932), Zhao (1976), and Zhao and Yang (1985).…”

Permian rugose coral faunas of Inner Mongolia–Northeast China and Japan: Paleobiogeographical implications

“…Permian rugose corals occur in these three terranes and were reported and described more than thirty years ago (e.g., Minato, 1955;Sakaguchi and Yamagiwa, 1958, 1963, 1973Yamagiwa, 1960Yamagiwa, , 1961Yokoyama, 1960;Minato and Kato, 1965a, b). Minato (1975) and Kato (1990) provided general discussions of Paleozoic corals, but more recent tectonic reconstructions and a new global time scale requires a detailed review and synthesis of the stratigraphic distribution and faunal composition of Japanese Permian rugose coral taxa.…”

Importance of rugosas for correlating lower carboniferous deposits

“…the Malevka and Upa horizons of the Russian Platform (22), the C,tb zone of the Donbass (2), the Arshakiakhbyur and Gerankalasy formations of Armenia (13), the lower part of the Kynovskiy Horizon of t h e Urals (4,8), t h e Cispolar Urals (17) and Novaya Zemlya (3), in the Abyshevo Horizon oftheKuzbass (6), theKrestikFormation ofNortheast USSR (7,12). On the whole they a r e corre latable with the Zaphrentis zone of the AngloBelgian basin-zones T n l b and Tn2a of Belgium (9,30), the Cystophrentis zoneofchina (31,32), the Arisuseries ofJapan (29), andzonesA andBofthe Kinderhook Formation of the USA (see table).…”

“…The Etroeungtiin zone also includes species like Stereolasma clisiophylloides Gorsky, Lophophyllum caninoides Gorsky, Tabulophyllum alferovi (Gorsky), Endophyllum caninoides Gorsky. That zone corresponds to: the Quasiendothyra kobeitusana* zone of the Central Asia (16), the Simorin Horizon of Kazakhstan (l), the Zavolz'yeHorizon oftheRussian Platform (22), theClta zone of the Donbass (2), the Lytva Horizon of the Urals (4,8), the beds transitional from the Devonian to t h e Carboniferous of Novaya Zemlya (3) a n d Poland (23), t h e Cleistopora zone-TnlaEtroeungt of the Anglo-Belgian basin (9, 30) and the Hikoroichi series of J a p a n (29).…”
