The “calcaires à Productus” of the Montagne Noire (Aude-Hérault, southern France) are carbonate lenses embedded within a thick Carboniferous siliciclastic complex. Foraminiferal assemblages in some of the larger carbonate lenses are typically representative of the late Viséan and Serpukhovian. Eleven new species of foraminifers are described: Hemidiscopsis variabilis, H. pilleae, Planohowchinia rara,...
The Vegas de Sotres section (Cantabrian Mountains, Northern Spain) spans a continuous record of upper Viséan-Serpukhovian (Mississippian) marine carbonates. It contains distinctive bioclastic pale grey nodular and black limestones of the upper part of the Alba Formation, representative of more shallower-water facies than the classically described deeper-water red griotte limestones of the formation...
Maimonachaetetes hispanica nov. gen., nov. sp. is described as a primitive red alga due to the presence of a coaxial dimerous thallus composed of tiny cellular structures with occasional cell fusion. It is recorded from Asbian (Mississippian) strata at Los Santos de Maimona Basin (south-western Spain). The species shows many characters in common with the Paleozoic Archaeolithophyllum and the solenoporaceans,...
A new genus, Falsocalcifolium is described. The type species is F. punctatum (Maslov) emend. The genus is placed in the tribe Calcifolieae Shuysky emend. of the family Calcifoliaceae Termier, Termier and Vachard nomen translat. Consequently, the generic make-up of the tribe is emended, and is now considered to be composed of Frustulata Saltovskaya emend., Falsocalcifolium nov. gen., and Calcifolium...
The carbonate microproblematicum Saccamminopsis is reinterpreted as a probable udoteacean algal gametophyte, and it is compared with different genera of problematical Udoteaceae or Dasycladaceae of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. No parallel is possible with other Palaeozoic or Recent microfossils. Saccamminopsis is virtually confined to the western Tethyan carbonates (Japan excepted) during the late Visean...
