    Re-description of Cymopolia miocenica (Karrer) (Chlorophyta, Dasycladales) from the Late Miocene of Sicily and the Middle Miocene of Banat (Romania)

    Professor Giuliano Ruggieri found a rich dasyclad flora in siliciclastic sediments of a Late Miocene (lower Messinian) succession from Sicily (Petralia Sottana, Palermo). The algal remains belong to the genus Cymopolia Lamouroux (Cretaceous-Recent). Morphological and biometrical characters allow the Sicilian taxon to be attributed to Cymopolia miocenica, a species formerly described by Karrer in 1868 as Dactylopora miocenica, and known only in the Middle Miocene of the Paratethys area (Romania and Hungary). A lectotype, chosen among Karrer’s material housed in the Naturwissenschaften Museum of Vienna, is here indicated. The remains of Cymopolia miocenica consist of sterile and fertile calcareous articles. The sterile bodies are usually cylindrical, while the fertile ones are elongated to short barrel-shaped. All the articles are strongly calcified except around the outer swollen part of primary laterals of fertile whorls. The original aragonitic calcification looks still preserved, a fact probably related to the conservation in clay. The calcified structure exhibits the same pattern as in the extant species. A reconstruction of the alga is supplie

    Analisi paleoecologica e sistematica delle Alghe Verdi Dasicladali del Paleocene dei Pirenei occidentali

    Con il presente lavoro si è voluto intraprendere per la prima volta uno studio paleontologico sistematico sull’associazione ad alghe dasicladali presente nelle successioni di piattaforma carbonatica dei Pirenei occidentali. Alla fase di ricerca bibliografica, scelta e campionatura delle successioni stratigrafiche, preparazione delle sezioni sottili di roccia, sono seguite le fasi dello studio e descrizione tassonomica delle alghe verdi dasicladali, e quella dall’applicazione di metodi statistici a nuove metodologie di studio dei campioni
