Remarks on Petrascula bugesiaca Bernier, 1979 from the uppermost Jurassic−lowermost Cretaceous limestones of Romania

Petrascula bugesiaca was described by Bernier (1979) from Portlandian (= Tithonian) limestones of the Sothern Jura Mountains (French Switzerland), and since the first description, has never been identified in any other place. The study of uppermost Jurassic olistoliths embedded in Cretaceous conglom...

Zusammenfassung:Petrascula bugesiaca was described by Bernier (1979) from Portlandian (= Tithonian) limestones of the Sothern Jura Mountains (French Switzerland), and since the first description, has never been identified in any other place. The study of uppermost Jurassic olistoliths embedded in Cretaceous conglomerates from Piatra Craiului (South Carpathians, Romania) gave us the possibility to identify well preserved specimens of this dasycladalean alga. The new material confirms Bernier's ascription of the species to the genus Petrascula, being characterized by a club‐shaped morphology. Petrascula bugesiacaは, Bernier (1979) により南ジュラ山脈 (フランス〜スイス) のポートランディアン地域階 (チトニアン階) の石灰岩から報告された. しかし, 以後, 他の地域からは 全く知られていない. 本研究では, ピアトラ・クライウルイ山系 (ルーマニア, 南カルパチア山脈) に分布する白亜系の礫岩に含まれる最上部ジュラ系のオリストリスから産出した, 保存のよい標本を検討した. 同標本の検討により, 本種は棍棒形の形態によって特徴づけられるPetrascula 属に帰属するというBernier (1979) の見解を支持する結果が得られた. Well preserved specimens of Petrascula bugesiaca Bernier, 1979 identified in Piatra Craiului (Southern Carpathians, Romania) allow a better description of this dasycladalean fossil alga
