SILURIAN HELIOLITOID CORALS FROM EASTERN MONGOLIA

Abstract

A concise characterization of the lithology and stratigraphy of the Eastern Mongolian localities of Silurian Heliolitoidea and the faunal list of Reliolitoids from the Salhitin, Baruun Urt, and Süchbaatar Beds (Upper Llandovery-Přidołi) are presented. Four new monotypic genera are described: Cromyolites accuratus gen. et sp. nov. (Wenlock), Cryptolites capillaris gen. et sp. nov. (Wenlock), Lidaelites ulitinae gen. et sp. nov. (Ludlow), and Barunolitespectinatus gen. et sp. nov. (Ludlow or Přidołi).
