Book The Corals of the Brassfield Formation mid Llandovery Lower Silurian in the Cincinnati Arch Region

Download or read book The Corals of the Brassfield Formation mid Llandovery Lower Silurian in the Cincinnati Arch Region written by Richard S. Laub and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-four species of corals (29 rugose, 19 tabulate, 6 heliolitid) have been identified from the Brassfield Formation (limestone, dolomite and claystone of mid-Llandovery [Lower Silurian] age) in the Cincinnati Arch region of the United States. Included are one new rugosan genus (Schizophaulactis), four new rugosan species (Streptelasma scoleciforme, Dinophyllum semilunum, Paliphyllum regulare, Pycnactis tenuiseptatus), three new tabulate species (Favosites densitabulatus, Catenipora favositomima, Syringolites vesiculosus), and one new rugosan subspecies (Paliphyllum suecium Neuman, 1968 brassfieldense). Coral assemblages of different, apparently environmentally controlled character are concentrated in the north and the southeast parts of the region. The Brassfield coral fauna appears to have been largely restricted to the present Cincinnati Arch region during mid-Llandovery time. Closest affinities on the species level during this episode are with the corals of Anticosti Island (Canada). Eight to twelve species pre-date the mid-Llandovery, some existing as early as the Late Ordovician. These oldest members of the Brassfield coral fauna were found in a number of areas throughout the world, rather than in a single ancestral homeland. At least half the coral species survived the end of the mid-Llandovery, and spread into a large portion of the submerged continental areas of the world. The geometry, facies distribution, environments and possible current directionals and age of the Brassfield lithosome are considered, and current views on these subjects are summarized. Certain features of the Florida Keys area, including Rodrigeuz Bank and the French Dry Rocks, offer insight into the mode of origin of the Brassfield Formation and one extraordinary coral bed that it contains. The relationships of coral species distribution to regional geography and sedimentary facies are discussed. With some exceptions, the assemblages found in the limestone and in the dolomite are distinct. Almost all species that occur in the clays of the higher Brassfield are found in the limestone as well. Because the clay occurs in the close association with the limestone, and because there is evidence that many of the corals enclosed in the clay have been transported, it seems likely that these corals lived in the limestone-depositing environment. Morphologic features of corals that are discussed include axial torsion, a potentially important phenomenon that has relieved little previous attention.
