Pironaea buseri n. sp. from olistostromal breccia of Paleocene flysch by Anhovo

Abstract

A new species, Pironaea buseri, found in chaotic breccia in Paleocene flysch beds in the wider region of the Soča valley, is ascribed to the genus Pironaea Meneghini. The large L-S distance and equal L-S and E-S spacings distinguish the new species from any known pironaea species. The species was found with Vaccinites giordani (Pirona) and Hippuritella cornucopiae (Defrance).
