Abstract
On Mount Rettenstein (Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria) a 95-m-thick Lower Jurassic succession of grey siliceous limestone and marl allowed us to study well-preserved and diverse radiolarian assemblages. The succession crossing the Sinemurian–Pliensbachian boundary yielded seven productive radiolarian samples, five of which were assigned to the Upper Sinemurian and two to the Lower Pliensbachian. In this article, we present 24 species and nine genera belonging to the order Entactinaria, and 66 species and 27 genera to the order Spumellaria. One genus (Tetractoma Cifer nov. gen.) and six species are described as new: Charlottalum austriacum Cifer nov. sp., Crucella optima Cifer nov. sp., Hexapyramis? sphaericus Cifer nov. sp., Paronaella triangularis Cifer nov. sp., Pseudoheliodiscus rotaformis Cifer nov. sp., and Tetractoma tollmanni Cifer nov. gen. nov. sp. In the Sinemurian, by far the most abundant genus amongst either Spumellaria and Entactinaria is Gorgansium. The Pliensbachian samples are, on the other hand, dominated by the genera Archaeocenosphaera and Praeconocaryomma. Compiled stratigraphic and geographic ranges as well as synonymies, descriptions and remarks are provided.
期刊介绍:
La Revue de micropaléontologie publie 4 fois par an des articles de intérêt international, consacrés à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie. Les textes, en anglais ou en français, sont des articles originaux, des résultats de recherche, des synthèses et mises au point, des comptes rendus de réunions scientifiques et des analyses de ouvrages. La revue se veut résolument ouverte à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie en accueillant des travaux traitant de la systématique des microfossiles (et de leurs équivalents actuels), des bactéries aux microrestes de vertébrés, et de toutes leurs applications en sciences biologiques et géologiques.
