Montenegrella? gracilis n. sp., a new calcareous alga (Dasycladales) from the Upper Barremian of Mt. Biokovo (Dinarides Mts., Croatia)
Description (Dublin Core)
<em>Montegrella? gracilis</em> n.sp. (Dasycladales) is characterized by thick calcareous envelope and narrow central cavity. Bipartite branches are arranged alternately in consecutive whorls. The primaries are visibly differentiated into a thin, tendril-like stalk in the proximal part and a club-shaped or ellipsoidal inflated swelling in the distal part. The secondaries are poorly visible, of unclear shape and number, with a supposedly common starting point. On the type-locality, the alga occurs within a rich, typically Upper Barremian, algal assemblage. The validity of the genus <em>Montenegrella</em>, being disputed by BARATTOLO (1983), is commented upon by showing the generic attribution of the same or different species either to <em>Suppiluliumaella</em> or to <em>Montenegrella</em> by different authors.
