Stage boundary recognition in the Eastern Americas realm based on rugose corals

January 1, 2000

Most Devonian stages contain characteristic coral assemblages but these tend to be geographically and facies limited and may or may not be useful for recognising stage boundaries. Within eastern North America, corals contribute to the recognition of two boundaries: the base of the Lochkovian (Silurian-Devonian boundary) and the base of the Eifelian (Lower-Middle Devonian Series boundary).
