Massive corals in Paleocene siliciclastic sediments of Chubut (Argentina)

A horizon with large, massive corals in growth position was discovered in the Paleocene, probably upper Danian, part of the Maastrichtian-Paleocene Lefipán Formation of Chubut (Patagonia, Argentina). All corals belong to one species, the cosmopolitan Haimesiastraea conferta Vaughan, which survived t...
