Abstract

Individual spherical bodies from a richly algal deposit in the Palaeocene-Lower Eocene of Kurdistan are described in detail and interpreted as detached cysts from a dasycladalean alga believed to resemble Halicoryne (Cenozoic-Recent). The fossils are named Sedalanella segonzacae gen. et sp. nov.
