NEW AND REVISED TOURNAISIAN (EARLY MISSISSIPPIAN) FORAMINIFERAL TAXA FROM BELGIUM

摘要

Hastarian formations in southern Belgium contain previously undescribed or unfigured foraminifcral taxa that provide a link to better known early Tournaisian faunas from eastern Europe. Characteristic specimens are illustrated, and selected elements are formally described as part of continuing research to reorganize Belgian Mississippian foraminifcral zones. Taxonomic discussions include description of the new genus Crassisaptella, emendation of the genera Spinochetnella and Condritslclla and Revaluation of the genus Granu-liferelloides.
