AI

The classification of habitats of colonial rugose corals during the Mississippian (Carboniferous) of Western Europe is explored, highlighting the evolution of classification systems from broad categories developed by early researchers to a more refined approach integrating various data types. The paper emphasizes the necessity for a classification that accommodates field observations and carbonate facies analyses while addressing challenges in comparing different coral communities across time and space.

Carboniferous and Early Permian of western Spitsbergen.

Regarding rugose corals morphological specificity and their appearance in different places, the heterogeneity biostratinomic process and ecological conditions are possible to analyze. The mentioned areas present broad sedimentary environments and allow a nearly complete taphonomic analysis including almost all processes that happened during organism transfer from biosphere to ithosphere. Furthermore considering the fact, that the polyps occupy the highest part of skeletons only, hese animals are very useful for reconstructing processes that occurred in their life time. According to RODRIGUEZ (2004), the skeletons of those organisms might have been subjected to the influence of biotic and abiotic environmental factors shortly after their creation, changing original structures of the skeletons just before the death of the polyps. Consequently to the analysis of collected material the answer to the problem which changes have to be considered as ecological and which as biostratinomic becomes possible. Due to he small number of studies of the taphonomy of rugose corals in general (FEDOROWSKI 2003, RODRIGUEZ 2004), the results of my research could provide essential contribution to the understanding of the condition of fossil material.

Comparable facies were observed in the carbonate platform and in the mounds (Fig. 1). Although the mounds and platform are independent, similar stromatoporoids are observed in similar facies in each, indicating a strong paleo-environmental control. From the more distal to the more proximal, facies are: (1) outer platform or off-mound (shales, crinoidal packstones); (2) outer intermediate platform or deep mound (muddy facies with crinoids and reef-builders); (3) inner intermediate platform or shallow mound (muddy facies with algae) and (4) inner restricted platform or mound (laminites, mudstones, paleosols).

Fig. 1: CL and SEM pictures, organization of the spicules and shape. Left: Large spicules organized as a perpendicular network in CL, with numerous small spicules. Right: Schematic sketch.  The stromatoporoid skeleton is cassiculate with locally dominant coenosteles or coenostromes and with a melanospheric microstructure. The spicules are of two size ranges (Fig. 1), the large ones are ranging between 500 to 2000 um long and the small ones are 50 to 100 um long. They have a simple structure, styles (monoaxons), are circular and no axial canal is present, due to diagenetic processes (Fig. 1). Observed shapes are straight or slightly curved styles or strongyles. The spicules are organized as followed: they are commonly enclosed in the skeleton and are intramural. They are relatively closely packed and arranged as a perpendicular network (Fig. 1) or plumos following the main skeleton.

Additionally, geochemical analyses (5180, 6'°C) were realized on oyster shells associated to the corals. The results indicate that the mean values of paleotemperatures were around 22°C and it represents optimal temperatures for zooxanthellate corals. However, considering the paleoenvironmental conditions and the paleoecological assemblage, the corals of the Isle of Skye are regarded as having belonged to an extreme ecosystem.

These results suggest that the regional response of coral reef ecosystems to global environmental change is strongly modulated by regional historical factors. Attempts to understand long-term global patterns of diversity and ecosystem distributions are enhanced by analysis of variation at non-global scales.

To obtain a representative value for the arithmetic mean, only a low number of measurements is required (20-30), but in order to obtain representative values for the standard deviation, the coefficient of variation and the first interval more values are necessary (> 50). The results are compared to traditional  methods by remeasuring published material. It is concluded that the application of systematic measuring should be extended to other species rich coral genera.

Fig. 2: Colony of Caninostrotion (rugose corals).  aN DE DD EE  The 2.7 meters of reef facies is comprised of 3 repeating growth cycles. Biological succession appeared to occur within each of these 3 cycles. The base of each cycle is colonized by a monoculture of chaetetids. These chaetetid layers can be observed from underneath within the cave (Fig. 1). Contemporaneous to, or shortly after chaetetid growth, microbialites began encrusting the tops and interstitial space between the chaetetids. This initial framework created hard surfaces, suitable for coral nucleation, and colonies of Caninostrotion soon after began to take root, greatly adding to the framework (Fig. 2). During the main phase of reef growth, all reefal organisms, including skeletal metazoans, encrusters, bafflers, and mobile organisms, continued to appear throughout the section until the subsequent cycle begins with another chaetetid monoculture.

B) Photograph of fused coral branch alive on the reef flat of Heron Reef. C) SEM image on a polished and etched section of large amount of thickening deposits in the broken branch.  Hence, we have demonstrated that live coral branches produced during a disturbance event may come to rest on probable genetic clone colonies and become fused. The retention of branch fragments on colonies in high energy reef flat settings suggests an active role of coral polyps to recognise and fuse with each other. This ability may represent an adaptation to help heal damaged colonies where branches were broken, but not removed from the host colony. Such an adaptation may be important for protecting colonies from invasion by parasites and other benthos following disturbance events.

Fig. 1. Stratigraphy of the Kiyasar section  The authors studied corals in the Kiyasar section, which is located in Northern Iran and the eastern limit of Alborz Mountains (latitude N: 36 14'18", longitude E: 53 32'57"). During the Early Carboniferous time the Alborz Mountains were part of the Gondwana margin (BRENCKLE et al. 2009). The Mobarak Formation includes alternations of thin to thick-bedded limestone, dolomitic limestone with interbedded shale and dark marl. Facies analyses show that this formation is composed of shallowing upward cycles, which are deposited on carbonate ramp.

The peculiarity of the studied corals has their endemicity, appearing in a large number of new species of rugose corals. The absence of Syringoporidae and colonial rugose corals in the studied, which are found at that time in many paleogeographic regions of Asia (China (XU & PoTy 1997), Kuzbas, and Tien-Shan) is unusual and confirms the conclusions about the features of paleogeography of this region (BRENCKLE et al. 2009).

Fig. 1: Depositional model and reef zonation of the studied portion of the Upper Jurassic reef complex. The figure shows the distribution of the main reef components in relation to the reconstructed depositional profile. Reef zones correspond to different sub-environments defined by distinct abiotic characteristics, distinctive biotic assemblages and characteristic hydrodynamic regime. (modified after RUSCIADELLI et al. 2011).  n the history of the Earth, the Late Jurassic is generally known to be a time when reefal activity was  widely expanded (KIESSLING 2002; Woop 1999), with a greater diffusion and differentiation of reefs in the  Tet  hys realm (e.g. CECCA et al. 2005; LEINFELDER et al. 2002). On the basis of their biotic composition and  their paleogeographic setting, Upper Jurassic reefs have been subdivided into distinctive types of reef complexes (CREVELLO & HARRIS 1984; LEINFELDER et al. 2002; SCOTT 1988). Mixed coral- stromatoporoid  ree  fs dominate Isolated Intra-Tethys platform margins, whereas in the North Tethys/North Atlantic reefs,  corals largely out-competed stromatoporoids (see LEINFELDER et al. 2002; 2005 for a review). Unlike other  Up  per Jurassic reefs, which have been the subject of numerous and detailed studies, Intra-Tethyan reefs  have received little attention. Studies are in large part descriptive and only rarely contain sedimentological, taxonomical or paleoecological contributions. Recently RUSCIADELLI et al. (2011) have proposed an innovative zonation model for Upper Jurassic Intra-Tethys reef complexes. This model is based on excellent exposures in central Apennines (Italy) that allow the reconstruction of the reef profile across the Upper Jurassic platform margin. The zonation is revealed by the distribution of main reef builders (corals and calcified demosponges) and sedimentological characteristics along the reef complex (Fig. 1).

af 7  The first coral beds occur in the upper  part of the Betaina Formation, which is mainly siliciclastic, but  shows some thin marly beds in its upper part. Those marly beds provided large in situ colonies of  Siphonodendron sp. (-A coral bed, Fig. 2).  This species shows similar dimensions to S. irregulare, but the  number of major septa is similar to S. sociale. Near the top of the Betaina Formation, several beds containing  corals have been identified (coral beds A-  D). The coral assemblage here is dominated by Siphonodendron  martini and S. sociale. The next assemblages are more diverse, containing both solitary (Axophyllum sp. and  Palaeosmilia murchisoni) and colonial corals  Siphonodendron martini and syringoporoids, coral beds E and F).

How does Darwin's work at Cocos (Keeling) relate to ancient reefs? Around that time, Darwin made an intriguing and important sketch (CUL DAR 41.83, STODDART 1995) of how he envisaged a subsiding atoll’s growth through geological time. Although he never published a fair copy of this, his long footnote (1842, pp. 116-118) is conceptually related to his sketch (“I may take this opportunity of briefly considering the appearances, which would probably be presented by a vertical and deep section across a coral formation .... This is a subject worthy of attention, as a means of comparison with ancient coral strata.”).

Sig TN ORs TS) SEGNETE EST ee TRE eS a a, eae  Platy coral assemblages, mainly common of Burdigalian to Serravallian age (11-20 Ma). Our observations suggest that the coral succession starts with very thin platy coral forms (1-10 mm) able to settle directly on soft sediments (Fig. 1A), or using fine sand grains, mollusks, or forams, as substrate to initiate growth. These initial stages are characterized by a high diversity, which is slowly replaced by a community dominated by few coral species that develop thicker and larger tabular colonies (Fig. 1B). Some of the most representative genera were Porites, Cyphastrea, Hydnophora, Pachyseris, Echinopora (Fig. 1C), Echinophyllia, and Leptoseris. Although scattered, some colonies of branching Porites and Acropora were also observed within the platy coral matrix. Platy coral communities could be interpreted as an adaptive response to extreme environmental conditions around the Kutai Basin: poor light levels in waters with high sedimentation rates (ROSEN et al. 2001; WILSON 2005).

He was a near personification of the ficticious but clearly Walloon, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Agatha Christie), a short, somewhat stout man in a dark suit and vest, a smoker who walked along with his hands clasped behind his back, an indefatiguable mind, incisive, with a ready sense of humor that was slight in the presence of strangers, but very well-developed and apparent when among friends. In addition he had a huge heart. One of my most vivid memories of M. LECOMPTE was him standing on the sidewalk in Prague in August of 1968, as invading tanks rumbled past us on the street. He had tears in his eyes and said to me, "This is just how it was in 1940." His compassion for the underdog was immense. This was a man who smiled easily when he was happy, was demanding in his professional life, enjoyed the presence of other scientists, truly enjoyed the café stop for beer after a day in the field, and was extremely kind to his friends. He was a man who rose from humble beginnings to earn international status as the leading student of his time in tabulate corals, stromatoporoid sponges and Devonian reef development in Belgium.

Fig. 1: Transverse section of Paleofavosites corallum with presumed annual couplets of zones based on varied spacing of tabulae, showing time equivalence of closely spaced tabulae (numbered dark bands) and the settling and growth of Tryplasma sp. associated with them.  Field study of the Lower Silurian (Llandovery) Brassfield Formation exposed in abandoned quarries near Fairborn, Ohio, USA (KISSLING 1977) yielded a total of 274 tabular to columnar coralla of the tabulate species Paleofavosites prolificus. Fifty five (55) of these were from a hard-ground and high-energy sequence of strata forming the uppermost 30 cm of the formation. Of this collection (of 55), three exceptional Paleofavosites coralla contain symbiotic rugose corals of Tryplasma sp. partially or wholly imbedded within their skeleton, here reported for the first time. The rugosans are largely, but generally not totally immured within the favositid coralla, and as bioclaustrations (PALMER & WILSON 1988; TAYLOR 1990; TAPANILA 2005), permit further inferences on the paleobiology of both Tryplasma and Paleofavosites.

Carboniferous corals are not so well-represented in collections of the RBINS contrary to their Devonian counterparts. As for the Belgian material, the collection of L. G. de KONINCK (1809-1897) comes mainly from the Tournaisian of Tournai and the Viséan of Visé. Some of these specimens were revised by POTY (1981) who also investigated some rugose corals collected by E. DUPONT and F. DEMANET. Finally, the Devonian and Carboniferous corals collected by CHARLES (1933) in Anatolia (Turkey) are also curated at the RBINS though his study was carried out at the Liège University. Of course, the types and illustrated specimens of all the papers mentioned in the paragraphs about the RBINS are housed in this institution.

Abstracts, 11th Symposium on Fossil Cnidaria and Sponges, Liège, August 19-29, 2011 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3) Occurrence of the genera Lonsdaleia and Actinocyathus that have never been recorded in the northern basins from Morocco or in Sierra Morena (SW Spain) (SAID et al. 2007;ARETZ 2010).
  223. Abundance of the genus Kizilia in Viséan beds. This genus is common in the Serpukhovian, but has been rarely recorded in the Upper Viséan (POTY 1981).
  224. Late occurrence of the genus Tizraia, which is common in the lower Brigantian from the Azrou- Khenifra Basin (SAID et al. 2007; RODRÍGUEZ et al. 2010), but in the Tindouf Basin occurs first in the late Brigantian. The differences with assemblages from Northern Morocco and SW Spain could be explained by palaeogeography, but assemblages from Djebel Ouarkziz Formation show higher similarities with those from NW Europe (POTY 1981; MITCHELL 1989; ARETZ 2002; RODRÍGUEZ & SOMERVILLE 2007). Alternatively, the differences in the assemblages could be explained by ecologic factors; the succession in the Djebel Ouarkziz Formation shows some similarities with the successions described from the Brigantian in the British Isles (main intervals of shales with limestone intercalations), but are very different from the successions in SW Spain (CÓZAR & RODRÍGUEZ 1999) and North Morocco (SAID et al. 2007; ARETZ & HERBIG 2008; ARETZ 2010), where the formations contain large mud mounds.

This demonstrated experimentally the effects of acidification on coral survival and recovery, providing support for the "naked coral" hypothesis. The Middle Triassic delayed recovery of calcified corals through millions of years of geologic time is attributed to long lasting Early Triassic perturbation of the world's oceans in which "naked" corals sought out isolated refugia. These sorts of organisms surviving the extinction were effectively censored from the fossil record. In this form, coral may have survived for six million years. Their apparently sudden appearances constitute biocalcification responses to ameliorating conditions of ocean chemistry so it likely coincided with the point where biogenic CaCO 3 could be secreted. This was a different kind of long-term refugia and what I call the "naked Lazarus" effect. The "naked Lazarus" effect best explains the sudden appearance of corals and other anomalous aspects of the Middle Triassic recovery and it may apply to other organisms as well. Investigations to substantiate these conclusions must likely delve into lagerstätten, molecular biology, seawater experiments and metazoan physiology.

Only few coral colonies were observed from the Silurian part of the sequence (P/16). REED (1912) described Streptelasma sp. aff. S. corniculum, Streptelasma sp. or Zaphrentis sp., Streptelasma? sp., Heliolites depauperata, Heliolites? sp., Lyopora? sp., Propora himalaica, Calapoecia? sp., Protaraea kanaurensis, Favosites spitiensis, Halysites catenularia var. kanaurensis, Halysites wallichi, Halysites sp. and listed the species of Plasmoporella from the Takche Member. Among them, the species, except for Streptelasma? sp., Heliolites depauperata, Lyopora? sp. and Plasmoporella sp., were ones that REED (1912) described from HAYDEN'S Horizon 6 as the Silurian species. According to REED (1912), (?)Llandoverian strata (Mikkim Member) yielded Favosites sp. cf. F. forbesi?, Favosites sp. cf. F. niagarensis?, Lindstroemia sp. and Calostylis dravidiana. Based on the present study of coral material collected from the type section we can confirm occurrences of following tabulate and rugose corals: Favosites spitiensis, Favosites sp., Plasmoporella sp., Halysites wallichi, Halysites? sp., Protaraea? sp., Proheliotidae? gen. et sp. indet., Calostylis? sp., Streptelasma sp., Streptelasmatidae gen. et sp. indet. Of them, Favosites sp. and Plasmoporella sp. occurred in the unit P/13.
  293. Streptelasma sp., Streptelasmatidae gen. et sp. indet. and Halysites? sp. were found in the units P/8, 10 and 16, respectively. Others were collected in the well weathered rubble just below the section that derived from the Takche Member. This is a contribution to IGCP 591.

Among the massive phillipsastreid genera analyzed, the most outstanding, but also dubiously phillipsastreid, is the Famennian Sudetiphyllia FEDOROWSKI 1991, and then follow Smithicyathus RÓŻKOWSKA 1980, and Pachyphyllum MILNE-EDWARDS & HAIME 1851. The remaining genera: Chuanbeiphyllum He 1978, Frechastraea SCRUTTON 1968, Medusaephyllum ROEMER 1855, Phillipsastrea D'ORBIGNY 1849 (sensu Ph. hennahii species group: WRZOŁEK 2005), Phillipsastrea ananas species group and Scruttonia CHEREPNINA 1974 form a tight agglomeration, with abundant intermediate morphologies, and thus defy simple "statistical" discrimination, i.e. if all characters analyzed are given equal weight.
