BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND PALEOECOLOGY Montastraea Blainville, 1830 and Solenastrea Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848 are abundant in four of the river sections (Rio Cana, Rio Gurabo, Rio Mao, and Rio Yaque del Norte) collected by Saunders, Jung, and Biju-Duval (1986) through the Neogene of the Cibao Valley (Text-fig. 2). They were not found elsewhere in the study area. Specimens of Montastraea were col- lected at a total of 59 localities, ranging in age from middle Miocene to middle Pliocene. Specimens of 5o- lenastrea were collected at a total of 37 localities, rang- ing in age from late Oligocene to middle Pliocene. Two species, M. limbata (Duncan, 1863) and S. boiirnoni Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849 were es- pecially common, occurring at more than 30 localities each (Text-fig. 3). S. boiirnoni was found throughout all four river sections, whereas M. limbata was re- stricted to late Miocene and y
