New observations on Permocalculus gosaviensis SCHLAGINTWEIT, 1991 (calcareous alga) from the Upper Cretaceous of the Northern Calcareous Alps (Gosau Group, Austria)

New observations on Permocalculus gosaviensis SCHLAGINTWEIT, 1991 (calcareous alga) from the Upper Cretaceous of the Northern Calcareous Alps (Gosau Group, Austria)

New thin-sections from the Upper Cretaceous Gosau Group of Brandenberg, Tyrol, Austria, yielded well-preserved specimens of the calcareous alga Permocalculus gosaviensis Schlagintweit. Microfacies are foraminiferal-algal wackestones; stratigraphy is Upper Turonian (?Lower Coniacian). It is shown tha...
