Abstract
The Carboniferous of Notsch (Austria), divided into Erlachgraben, Badstub and Notsch Formations, is composed of a thick sequence of dominantly siliciclastic deepsea sediments. Intercalated marly and silty limestones in the upper Erlachgraben Formation consist of bioclastic wackestones and algal wackestones/packstones which contain a diverse fossil assemblage of formainifers, algae and pseudo-algae. These microfossils are accurately described and documented, and three species of algae are established:Principia fluegeli n. sp.,Paraepimastopora noetschensis n. sp., andNanopora pseudofragilissima n. sp.
