(Geology)}, month = {Mar}, note = {A new species of cleistoporid tabulate coral, Donetzites miyakei, is described from the Endothyra Zone (late Visean, Early Carboniferous) of the Omi Limestone at the Nishiyama quarry in the Omi area, Niigata Prefecture, central Japan. It represents the earliest Donetzites recorded so far. Stratigraphic and geographic distributions of Donetzites may be explained as the result of westward spread reaching into the Tethys from it possible origin in the central Panthalassa. Comparable taxon with D. miyakei is D. vermiculatus Niko, 1999 from the Eostaffella- Millerella Zone of the Hina Limestone, Okayama Prefecture, southwest Japan.}, pages = {29--34}, title = {Donetzites miyakei, a new species of Early Carboniferous tabulate coral from the Omi Limestone, Niigata Prefecture, central Japan}, volume = {25}, year = {2010} }
