Abstract
The dasycladalean content of a Maastrichtian-Paleocene grey limestone succession near Kholm (NW Afghanistan) is described. The Maastrichtian beds contain calcified reproductive organs (Russoella parthica n. sp., Terquemella globularis Elliott and Terquemella sp.) while the Paleocene beds display a rich assemblage of Cymopolia sp., Orioporella malaviae Pia and Jodotella cf. sloveniaensis Deloffre & Radoičić.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
