Kurzfassung

Elf Exemplare der KoralleCyathophora Michelin, 1843, bekannt aus dem Oberjura und der Kreide, wurden im Mitteljura (Bajoc) des Beckens von Kachchh, westliches Indien, gefunden. Sie stammen aus dem Babia Cliff Sandstone member der Kaladongar Formation, die entlang des nördlichen Abbruchs von Kala Dongar auf Pachchham Island aufgeschlossen ist. Die Exemplare werden als die ältesten jurassischen Vertreter der Familie CyathophoridaeVaughan &Wells, 1943 beschrieben und abgebildet. Das monospezifische Auftreten vonCyathophora geht vermutlich auf Schwankungen im Salzgehalt des randlich marinen Ablagerungsraumes zurück.

Abstract

CyathophoraMichelin, 1843, hitherto well known from the Upper Jurassic and Cretaceous, has been found in the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) of the Kachchh Basin, western India. Eleven specimens ofCyathophora bourgueti (Defrance, 1826) from the Babia Cliff Sandstone member of the Kaladongar Formation, exposed along the northern scarp of the Kala Dongar, Pachchham Island, Kachchh, are described and illustrated as the earliest Jurassic record of the family CyathophoridaeVaughan & Wells, 1943. It is suggested that the monospecific occurrence ofCyathophora bourgueti was controlled by salinity.
