Genus Salpingoporella Pia in Trauth 1918, emend. Carras et al., 2006

Salpingoporella muehlbergii ( Lorenz, 1902) Pia in Trauth, 1918

( Fig. 6 a, b )

Only a few specimens were identified in thin section RR4518 that display the typical shape and size features for the species Salpingoporella muehlbergii . This is one of the most frequent dasycladaleans found in Barremian – Aptian deposits in the Tethys area.

Dimensions (mm): D = 0.37-0.50; d = 0.15-0.20; p (distal) = 0.08-0.10; h = 0.10.

Salpingoporella gr. pygmaea ( Gümbel, 1891) emend Carras et al., 2006

( Fig. 6 d )

Also in the case of this species, only a few specimens were identified – mainly cut in oblique sections. Dimensions (mm): D = 0.78; d = 0.35; l = 0.25-0.30.
