Extract

Early Permian massive corals define a narrow zone (the Thysanophyllum coral belt of Stevens, 1982) that surrounded the northern and western margins of Pangaea from the southern Ural Mountains through western North America to Bolivia (Stevens, 1982; Wilson, 1990). This belt appears to have been essentially continuous in the Wolfcampian, and although massive corals persisted along this belt into the Leonardian, they were restricted to many fewer localities.
