FORMULA
According to Theorem 3.12 on page 435 of "The distribution of second p-class groups on coclass graphs", the coclass of the group M is given by cc(M)+1=log_3(h_3(L_2)), where h_3(L_2) is the second largest 3-class number among the four unramified cyclic cubic extensions L_1,..,L_4 of the quadratic field K, and log_3 denotes the logarithm with respect to the basis 3.
EXAMPLE
The coclass cannot be odd for imaginary quadratic fields. We have cc(M)=2 for d=-3896, cc(M)=4 for d=-27156, cc(M)=6 for d=-423640, cc(M)=8 for d=-99888340.
