Abstract

Sedymentacja i wczesna diageneza wapienia jamistego (najwyższy dolny trias) regionu śląsko-krakowskiego, Polska A study of unusually well-preserved specimens from the upper surface of a turbidite sandstone layer indicates the tubular agglutinated foraminifer described by Grzybowski (1898) as Dendrophrya excelsa must be transferred to the genus Nothia. The autecology o f this common species is interpreted as a surface-dwelling detritivore.
