Palaeobiogeographic relations of the cyathaxonid coral fauna of the Aheimer Formation (asterisk) showing its rooting in the western Palaeotethys (red dots) and the strong relations to the cool-water Cordilleran–Arctic–Uralian realm (yellow dots). The fauna is a precursor of the Lower Permian cyathaxonid cool-water fauna of the eastern Cimmerian peri-Gondwana terranes (E´pGT). Base map from Abd-Elhameed et al. (2021) as modified from Kiessling et al. (1999)
