| Abstract;An alveolitid coral Gokaselites nodai gen. et sp. nov. is proposed for material from the Early Silurian of southern Japan. The new genus differs from the previously known alveolitines by its laminar corallum form, differentiated corallites into the prostrate and erect portions with the partly subpolygonal corallite cross sections, narrow corallite diameters, thickened distal intercorallite walls, and connecting protuberances. A phylogenetic relationship to the Devonian genus Crassialveolites with Gokaselites is suggested. Stratigraphic horizon of the new coral is the G2 Member in the Gionyama Formation. (author abst.) |
