Hortonella uttingii , gen. nov., sp. nov., Udotéacées? (Algues vertes?) du Carbonifère inférieur
We describe here a new algal taxon observed in Tournaisian rocks of the Horton Group, Nova Scotia. The thallus morphology suggests an udoteacean, but the central medullary tubes are divided by septiform processes, a character normally associated with the Rhodophyta. Hortonella is also recognized in...

| Summary: | We describe here a new algal taxon observed in Tournaisian rocks of the Horton Group, Nova Scotia. The thallus morphology suggests an udoteacean, but the central medullary tubes are divided by septiform processes, a character normally associated with the Rhodophyta. Hortonella is also recognized in Visean strata of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Alberta, and Algeria. |
