Middle Pennsylvanian rugose corals from the Baird Formation, Klamath Mountains, northwestern California
Four new species of colonial corals, one previously described coral, and two other unidentified species of coral have been recovered from the Baird Formation in the Klamath Mountains of northwestern California. The newly erected species are Heritschioides armstrongi n. sp., Pararachnastraea klamathe...
