Abstract

Knowledge of the supposed reproductive structures of the Solenoporaceae (Rhodophyta, calcareous algae, mostly Palaeozoic and Mesozoic) is reviewed, and then compared with evidence from a study of well-preserved Tertiary Solenoporaceae. Even in this material reproductive bodies cannot be identified with certainty. A suggested evolutionary history of the family relates the supposed reproductive processes to cell-structure, anatomy, and palaeoecology, comparing each with that of the related Corallinaceae.
