5th Regional Symposium of the IFAA
No full textThe 5th Regional Symposium of the International Fossil Algae Association was principally organised by Davide Bassi and Anna Fugagnoli of the Dipartimento delle Risorse Naturali of the University of Ferrara. This symposium follows the tradition of successful regional meetings previously held in Granada (1989), Munich-Vienna (1993), Cracow (1997) and Cluj-Napoca (2001) (see ).
Presentations were offered in three sessions: general themes, calcareous red algae, and calcareous green algae. A total of 31 presentations were made over two days. Delegates from several countries (Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Slovenia, Croatia, Israel, China, U.S.) attended the symposium

Giornata di Studi Paleontologici “Prof. Carmela Loriga Broglio”
No full textVenerdi 18 giugno si è tenuta presso l’Aula Magna del Rettorato dell'Università di Ferrara (via Savonarola 9) una Giornata di Studi Paleontologici dedicata alla Professoressa Cermen Loriga Broglio. La Giornata di Studi Paleontologici è organizzata in commemorazione della Prof.ssa Broglio. Quindici comunicazioni ad invito analizzeranno vari aspetti paleontologici di successioni sedimentarie dal Triassico al Recente.
Con lo spirito di ricerca e di divulgazione che contraddistinguevano questi incontri informali, nel quadro delle attività del Centro di Museologia Scientifica e Naturalistica e del Dipartimento delle Risorse Naturali e Culturali dell’Università di Ferrara, Anna Fugagnoli e Davide Bassi hanno organizzato una Giornata di Studi ricca di eventi, durante la quale si succederanno sedici comunicazioni scientifiche. Interverranno paleontologi di tutta Italia rappresentanti le università di Torino, Milano, Modena, Ferrara, Roma, Cagliari, Catania, Messina e Bari. Grazie a queste numerose adesioni la giornata si privilegia di spaziare dagli ammonoidi e dai pesci ai dinosauri del Mesozoico, per poi passare dall’Eocene all’attuale attraverso gli invertebrati marini (spugne silicee, alghe calcaree, foraminiferi, briozoi) ed i mammiferi.
In apertura della giornata interverranno il Magnifico Rettore Prof. Francesco Conconi al quale succederanno il Dott. Michele Lanzinger, presidente dell’Associazioni Nazionale Musei Scientifici, e la Professoressa Giuliana Gnani, in rappresentanza della SSIS di Ferrara
Middle Triassic (Anisian) benthic Foraminifera from the Monte Pra' della Vacca/Kühwiesenkopf section (Dont Formation, Braies Dolomites, Northern Italy
No full textThe recent discovery at Monte Pra' della Vacca/Kuhwiesenkopf (Braies Dolomites) of a significant plant deposit in the lower part of the Dont Formation, a basinal unit consisting of hemipelagic terrigenous-carbonate sediments, prompted an investigation of the benthic foraminiferal assemblage to provide a better chronostratigraphic definition of the deposit. The Anisian benthic foraminifera discovered in this section are widely distributed in the Tethys domain, and have been studied from the Dolomites region by several authors. The foraminiferal assemblage from Monte Pra' della Vacca/Kuhwiesenkopf has never been previously described or illustrated; it consists mainly of Ammodiscidae, Cornuspiridae and Duostominidae which are concentrated in the carbonate banks, while these are lacking in the stratigraphic interval corresponding to the plant deposit. The Pilammina densa, Meandrospira dinarica and Pilamminella semiplana association, typically Pelsonian in age, characterizes most of the section; towards the topmost layers the Paulbronnimannia judicariensis-Paulbronnimannella whirrakeri association occurs, which is referred to the upper Pelsonian. It is worth noting the occurrence of Paulbronnimannia judicariensis before the appearance of Meandrospira dinarica, and its co-existence with this latter. According to the foraminiferal association and distribution, the plant deposit can be referred to the Pelsonian

CATI, 1959 (FORAMINIFERA, LITUOLACEA)
No full textThe large lituolid foraminifer, Lituosepta recoarensis Cati, 1959, is recorded from Lower Jurassic shallow-water carbonate deposits of the Southern Tethyan area. This species is usually not abundant and its taxonomic status, as well as its stratigraphic distribution, have not always been well defined. The analysis of Cati’s stratigraphic section (Monti Lessini area, Monte Scandolara, north-eastern Italy, Southern Alps), from which the type material originates, yielded numerous well-preserved topotypes and permitted a detailed structural and morphological assessment of Lituosepta recoarensis. Microspheric and megalospheric generations are herein described and illustrated. Two generations of megalospheric forms, A1 and A2, are distinguished on the basis of morphological features. Comparing the Lituosepta species, the genus Planisepta (type species Lituosepta compressa Hottinger) is considered invalid and the original nomenclature Lituosepta compressa is retained. In the southern Tethyan margin the stratigraphic occurrence of L. recoarensis spans the upper Sinemurian–Toarcian interval

Triassic Dasycladalean algae from the Dolomites (northern Italy): stratigraphic assessment
No full textA complete inventory of Triassic dasycladalean green algae found so far in the Dolomitic area was performed. This group of fossil algae has been so far used as biostratigraphic tool in the Triassic successions. The paper lists all the species identified in the DOlomitic area and discuss their importance and validity in biostratigraph
