Trinocladus divnae and Montiella filipovici - a new species (Dasycladales, green algae) from the Upper Cretaceous of the Mountain Paštrik (Mirdita Zone) [2006/12]

Diagnosis

Thallus cylindrical, central stem narrow with whorls consisting of three orders of similarly shaped phloiophorous laterals; 7–8 primary laterals bear probably six relatively long secondaries, giving rise to bunches of fine short tertiaries. Distal widening of the laterals relatively small, maximum of 0,076 mm in the primaries, about 0,050 mm in the secondaries and about 0.025 mm in the tertiaries. Length of the primary lateral is almost equal to both secondary and tertiary laterals. Primary calcification delicate, prevailing around the distal portion of the thallus.
