Dasycladacean algae in Middle Paleocene miliolid limestones in Kras in Slovenia

Abstract

In several beds of the Middle Paleocene limestone within the miliolid limestone at the Slivje village in Kras (Slovenia) a rich association of dasycladaceans was found. Very frequent are cymopolias, especially the species Cymopolia elongata. Here a new species genus Clypeina Michelin — Clypeina liburnica is introduced. Also the emended diagnosis of species Cymopolia paronai Raineri is given.
