FILKORN, Harry F.; AVENDANO-GIL, Javier; COUTINO-JOSE, Marco A. y VEGA-VERA, Francisco J.. Corals from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Ocozocoautla Formation, Chiapas, Mexico. Rev. mex. cienc. geol [online]. 2005, vol.22, n.1, pp.115-128. ISSN 2007-2902.
The coral species from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) strata of the Ocozocoautla Formation in Chiapas, Mexico, are identified, described and illustrated for the first time. This coral fauna is composed of 12 species, nine of which are colonial, presumably zooxanthellate, reef-building forms. This is the first time that six of these species have been reported from Mexico. The majority (11) of these species are endemic to the Caribbean region and known only from the Late Cretaceous.
