A New Ceratotrochus from the Upper Cretaceous of Portuguese East Africa
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
Three small simple corals were collected by Mr. F. P. Mennell from the Upper Cretaceous of the Cheringoma district, Portuguese East Africa. The area is of special geological interest as it includes the southern end of the Great Rift Valley and furnishes useful evidence as to the date of the formation of that valley. A coral from almost the same horizon has been figured by Schlosser, and, as it is clearly a different species, the horizon may be expected to yield a good fauna of simple corals.
