A note on the rugose coral Entelophyllum latum from the Early Silurian Yarralumla Formation of Canberra

Abstract

The rugose coral species Entelophyllum latum is described from the Yarralumla Formation of Canberra. As the species was first recognised in the Glenbower Formation a little to the north of Canberra, and does not occur anywhere else in the Canberra-Yass region, it confirms correlation of the two formations, which on recently revised conodont data are now very likely to be of Sheinwoodian (mid-Wenlock) age.
