PAULBRONNIMANNINAE RETTORI & ZANINETTI, 1993 (FORAMINIFERIDA, AMMODISCIDAE) AND OTHER ANISIAN FORAMINIFERS FROM THE PIZ DA PERES SECTION (VALDAORA-OLANG, PUSTERIA VALLEY, DOLOMITES, NE ITALY)

Abstract

The anisian succession exposed in the Piz da Peres area, studied by De Zanche et al. (1992) using sequence stratigraphy, is here examined from a micropaleontological point of view. The Recoaro Limestone, deposited during highstand time, contains the most diversified microfauna of the stratigraphic succession; it is Pelsonian in age, with the rypical association Meandrospira dinarica-Pilammina densa; the coeval Pelsonian foraminifers Paulbronnimannia judicariensis (Premoli Silva, 1971) and Paulbronnimannia whittakeri Rettori gen. n., sp. n,, are also present.
