Main Article Content
Abstract
The current work constitutes the fifth part of the systematic revision of the corals from the Bisbee Group in Sonora, north-west Mexico (Late Barremian to Early Albian) and deals with the family Columastraeidae. Nine species from the genera Eocolumastrea and Nudacolumastrea are described and illustrated . The genus Eocolumastrea is one of the most common genera in Lower Cretaceous coral faunas, whereas Nudacolumastrea is rarer.
