Abstract: In the Loei area of Northeast Thailand, a few limestone outcrops contain abundant fasciculate corals (Tetracorallia). These corals belong to Lublinophyllum, a genus newly established and still poorly known. They are Upper Bashkirian-Lower Moscovian in age according to a study of the associated microfauna. They are well-preserved and very abundant at Ban Na Charoen, from where a new species is described: L. thailandicum. The Ban Na Charoen limestone is Kashirian (Lower Moscovian) in age.
