. Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History). OSWALD'S TURKISH ALGAE 127. Fig. 2 Euspondrloporella sp.; a second section showing club-shaped branches from the apex of the thallus, x 30. Reg. no. V11063b. gross dimensions, all shown both by Sokac & Nikler's Jugoslav type material and Oswald's Turkish material. It would seem, therefore, that Oswald's dasyclad can certainly be identified as an Euspondyloporella (Triploporelleae), and probably as E. duplicata, though suitable additional sections would be necessary to confirm this. The other accompanying organisms are a typical Tethyan Lower Cretaceous assemblage for this facies, which is widespread through the circum-Mediterranean and Middle East. They comprise the microproblematicum Carpathoporella fontis (Patrulius) (see Jaffrezo 1974 for the involved synonymy), the algae Cayeuxia sp. and Solenopora sp. and the problematic Lithocodium aggregaium Elliott. Bivalve and echinoid fragments occur. Oswald (1906:339,340) stated that the algal limestone was succeeded by radiolarian limestone. South of the Turkish frontier, in the Lower Cretaceous of Iraqi Kurdistan, the organic Qamchuqa Formation (with algae) intertongues with the basinal radiolarian.
