Permian Marine Calcareous Algae

  • Chapter
Calcareous Algae and Stromatolites

Abstract

The Permian is characterized by development of distinctive gymnocodiacean non-reef floras and of the problematic reefal genera Archaeolithoporella and Tubiphytes. Lower Permian calcareous algae are dominated by dasycladaleans and phylloid algae. The importance of phylloids declines towards the middle Permian, as does that of problematic groups common in the Carboniferous such as Stacheia, Ungdarella and similar genera. Calcified cyanobacteria and genera traditionally referred to the Solenoporaceae are, overall, of minor importance during the period. Key locations for the study of Permian algal floras in New Mexico and Texas, the Eastern Alps and Yugoslavia, the central Urals, the Caucasus, northern Iran and Afghanistan, south China, and Japan, reflect their originally broadly equatorial distribution.
