Abstract

Previously unreported dasycladaleans and one morpho-taxon of assumed algal origin are described from Upper Turonian to Santonian rocks of the Lower Gosau Subgroup (LGS) of the Northern Calcareous Alps. A taxonomic inventory of green-algal/benthic foraminiferal assemblages shows that assemblages of “pure” carbonate environments are more diverse than those of siliciclastic and mixed siliciclastic-carbonate settings. A comparison of the taxonomic inventory of the LGS with assemblages in similar sedimentary successions of the Alpine-Mediterranean realm shows the highest similarity with the “Mirdita Zone” of the internal Dinarids. Comparability of assemblages, however, is limited due to narrow chronostratigraphic overlap and/or because of scarcity of data from areas outside the Alps. Although higher than previously known, the total diversity of the green-algal/benthic foraminiferal assemblage of the LGS is clearly inferior to that of the peri-Adriatic carbonate platforms.
