The nature and systematic position of the microfossils Globochaete alpina Lombard, 1945

Abstract

Well preserved aciniform associatioos of Gobochaete alpina Lombard discovered within Upper Visean limestones of the Lublin. Coal Basin, eastern Poland, allow to recognize the relationship of these microfossils to the present-day green algae of the family Chlorosphaeraceae. The revision of the whole genus Globochaete is undertaken, and the species Nostocites vesiculosa Maslv is regarded as a subiective synonymy of Globochaete alpina Lombard.
