The Catalogue of Cretaceous Corals

The serial gives a systematic overview on the Cretaceous corals. Except for additional notes on localities and taxa, the data are (for volume 1 to 3) taken from the literature and possess an objective status. The first volume - the Repertoire of Species - was published in 2000. The second volume was published in late 2002. The third volume was published in 2005.

With more than 1,400 pages, the complete edition forms the ultimate handbook of Cretaceous corals, of which the List of (more than 2,800) Localities is also interesting for palaeontologists who work with other Cretaceous fossils. The last volume includes a retrieval system for Windows-based computers.

Volumes 4 is under preparation

The Catalogue of Cretaceous Corals which was originally envisaged to be only a revision of the Fossilium Catalogus. Whereas the first three volumes are "only" pure compilations of data, the fourth volume will be a systematic and fully illustrated revision on the genus level. The revision is carried out mainly on type material or material from the type locality of the type species of the genera concerned.
