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

Abstract
Almost throughout the Devonian, there were marine basins around the Pacific Ocean that belonged mainly to geosynclines. Caledonian folding, manifested in the second half of the Silurian in the Paleozoic geosynclines, gave rise to young mountain chains and island archipelagos that separated the continental seas.
