Abstract Corals are common in Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian rocks from Alaska, but few have been described or illustrated. Most of the known occurrences of corals are in carbonate rocks, either in an east-west belt of shelf facies across central Alaska that presisted from pre-Ordovician to Middle Devonian time or in a more southerly volcanic graywacke belt of geosynclinal facies that includes significant limestone units in southeastern Alaska. Corals occur in other areas but are less well known. Annotated lists of corals summarize most collections made by U.S. Geological Survey geologists in the last 15 years. Many of the corals are illustrated. |
