Analysis of the distribution of coral taxa, principally genera and subgenera, in the Mississippian of the Western Interior Province of Canada and the conterminous United States permits recognition of a system of coral zones and subzones useful for correlating stratigraphic units throughout an area extending from the southwestern District of Mackenzie in the Northwest Territories of Canada to southern California in the United States. The zonation comprises six Oppel zones, four of which are divided into locally useful subzones. Coral Zone I corresponds approximately to the Kinderhookian Provincial Series and is divided into Subzones A, B, and C. Coral Zone II corresponds approximately to the Osagean Provincial Series and is divided into Subzones A and B. The Tournaisian Stage of western Europe is represented by Coral Zones I and II. Coral Zone III corresponds approximately to the lower and middle parts of the Meramecian Provincial Series and is divided into Subzones A, B, C, and D. Coral Zone IV corresponds approximately to the upper part of the Meramecian and is not divided. Coral Zone V corresponds approximately to the lower and middle parts of the Chesterian Provincial Series and is divided into Subzones A and B. Coral Zone VI corresponds approximately to the upper part of the Chesterian and is not divided. The Visean Stage of western Europe is represented by Coral Zones III and IV and Subzone VA. The lower part of the Namurian Stage of western Europe is represented by Coral Subzone VB and Zone VI. Deep-water and shallow-water coral biofacies are discussed and integrated into the zonation system. The coral zones are correlated with foraminifer and conodont zones, which provide the primary bases for establishing ranges of coral taxa. Forty-five coral genera and subgenera used in the zonation are diagnosed, discussed, and illustrated. Correlations of Mississippian formations in the Western United States and Western Canada are presented as examples of the utility of the coral zonation.

Tournaisian (Early Osagean) brachiopods from a bioherm in the St. Joe Formation near Kenwood, Oklahoma

A diverse early Osagean (Upper Tournaisian) brachiopod fauna from a carbonate buildup in the St. Joe Formation near Kenwood, Mayes County, northeastern Oklahoma, is described. This is the earliest Lower Carboniferous, and perhaps only, Tournaisian biohermal brachiopod fauna described in North America, although potentially earlier unknown faunas could occur in mid-Kinderhookian bioherms of southwestern Missouri. It consists of 40 species in 34 genera and is characterized by unusually robust specimens of several species. New species are Geniculifera siphuncula, Pustula kenwoodensis, Pustula oklahomae, Schizophoria mayesensis, Rhynchopora kollari, Cranaena salinensis, and Dielasma oklahomensis.
