Abstract
A dasycladalean alga, Salpingoporella nicolacarrasi spec. nov., is described from Santonian limestones of the Mur Formation outcropping in Novi Pazar, Mirdita Zone belt, SW Serbia. The alga, the main axis of which bears tightly packed whorls of numerous laterals, resembles the Triassic Salpingoporella sturi. Calcareous sparry calcite skeleton, likely first aragonitic, is more or less heavily destroyed by a special process of bio-erosion, described under the name of Mur1.
Highlights
Salpingoporella nicolacarrasi spec. nov., was first informally described and illustrated by RADOIČIĆ (1984) under the name of Dasycladacea gen. ind., in a paper primarily introducing Drimella, a subgenus of Neomeris
Salpingoporella nicolacarrasi spec. nov. was found in the Novi Pazar area, in an outcrop of Late Cretaceous limestones belonging to the NW Rogozna–Novi Pazar–S Golija Mt. belt, called the western belt of the Vardar Zone by some authors
Sample location is in the Novi Pazar–Golija Mt., Mirdita Zone belt, called the western belt of the Vardar Zone, i.e. Dinarides by some authors
Summary
Salpingoporella nicolacarrasi spec. nov., was first informally described and illustrated by RADOIČIĆ (1984) under the name of Dasycladacea gen. ind., in a paper primarily introducing Drimella, a subgenus of Neomeris. Nov., was first informally described and illustrated by RADOIČIĆ (1984) under the name of Dasycladacea gen. Ind., and tentatively corresponding to the internal part of a Drimella type skeleton.
