Creusia Neogenica, a New Species of Coral-Inhabiting Barnacle from Florida

Abstract

While working on the collection of Florida invertebrates in the Department of Geology at Florida State University, the writer came upon an unlabeled specimen of stony coral in which are imbedded a number of unusual barnacles. Since there is no information of any kind concerning the specimen, it is the purpose of this paper to determine, from indirect evidence, the locality and geologic age of the host, and to describe the barnacle which inhabits it.
