Bioerosion and encrustation in late triassic reef corals from iran

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study provides the first quantitative assessment of sclerobionts in a Late (Norian) reef coral community (from the Nayband Formation in central Iran) and establishes some post-Paleozoic trends in reef Sclerobionts were common on the dominant coral Pamiroseris rectilamellosa and covered between and 26.4% of total coral surface area among the colonies investigated. was significantly more prevalent (1.78% of total area) than (0.36% of total area). The authors provide a quantitative account of Late Triassic (Norian) sclerobionts on reef corals to demonstrate that bioerosion/encrustation was already significant in Late Triassic reefs . . .
