...Jean Pierre Chevalier Abstract Study by means of serial sections shows that the anatomy of Balanophyllia italica (of the madrepore family Eupsammidae) is the result of a simple anastomosis of septa, which is irregular at first, but becomes progressively more regular. GeoRef, Copyright 2004...

... ). Our initial research was motivated by the lack of age constraints, namely U/Th disequilibrium in Balanophyllia elegans , for this world-class set of marine terraces. Although our young age model was unexpected, these tests provide confidence that the terraces are associated with the highstands...

... solitary corals for uranium-series age dating and mollusks for oxygen isotopic analysis. Solitary corals ( Balanophyllia elegans ) are nearly closed systems with respect to the input of uranium from ocean waters following the death of the organism ( Muhs, 1992 ). They can be accurately and precisely...

These are represented by hundreds of specimens. In strong contrast to this, the remainder of the species are represented...

...., Merritts et al., 1992 ; Singer et al., 1992 ). U-Th disequilibrium provides the least ambiguous absolute dating method, but suitable fossils such as the solitary coral Balanophyllia elegans are rare at middle to high latitudes. Other less precise dating methods also rely on scarce fossil...

...% of the taxa occur in only one collection (n  =  321) and 87% occur in five or fewer of the collections. The most regularly collected taxon is the small, free-living azooxanthellate species Heterocyathus aequicostatus that occurs in 47 collections. Balanophyllia oppenheimi is another common azooxanthellate...
