On The Occurrence of Pseudovermiporella in Turkey

Abstract: In the Carboniferous ,and Permian rocks from Turkey, which wehave been studying for some time, we have quite often observed somemicroproblematic foraminifera about which, so far as we know, no papers have been published. Although some of these forms phylogenetically can be assigned to some family ,and genera, we feel that not enoughinvestigation ,and study has been made to give them a more definite systematic position ,and therefore, for the time being, we prefer to acceptthem as Microprohlematica.Among those in samples from lower ,and particularly middle Permian rocks, two forms, one being comparative with the Vermiporella ,and the other with a microforaminifera / a primitive Algae, are quiteoften observed.Until recently, excepting a few old publlcations, there were no papers available concerning these forms. Lately however, we have beenable to make more certain identification of the large collection of fossilAlgae in our possession, benefiting from a series of publications put outduring the recent years by G. F. Elliott of the Iraq Petroleum Company. Today`s talk is going to be about these Algae which are offten observed in the samples from Permian rocks in Turkey
