Abstract

We used both archive material and specimens from newly collected samples to illustrate the morphology of the type species, Marssonella rugosa Hanzlikova 1953. We made an effort to locate the type specimens of Marssonella rugosa in the Hanzlikova Collection in the Czech Geological Survey, and made enquiries as to the whereabouts of type specimens of is junior synonym, Goesella carpathica Liszkowa 1959. Unfortunately, no primary type specimens of either species could be found. New specimens examined in this study derive from lower Maastrichtian marls from the Subsilesian Unit of the Polish Carpathians that outcrop in Weglowka, Poland. Samples were collected in the stream that fl ows alongside the main road at the entrance to the village. The Weglowka locality was described in detail by Huss (1966) and by Ślączka and Kaminski (1997). METHODS
