Paleobiogeographic relationships of Devonian provinces of the Pacific Rim (on the example of tetracorals)

Abstract
Almost throughout the Devonian, there were marine basins around the Pacific Ocean that belonged mainly to geosynclines. Caledonian folding, which occurred in the second half of the Silurian in the Paleozoic geosynclines, led to the formation of young mountain chains and island archipelagos that disconnected the continental seas.
