| Three new organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts from the Upper Cretaceous deposits in the western External Rif, northwestern Morocco: Taxonomy and stratigraphic distribution |
Hamid Slimani, Hassan Jbari, Koré Élysée Guédé, Ali Soliman, Mohamed Benzaggagh Three new species of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) have been spotted during our palynological investigations in the Upper Cretaceous deposits from the western External Rif Chain, northwestern Morocco. They have been previously mentioned and figured under different names, but have not been formally described. In this paper, the formal descriptions of these new species are presented, based on several specimens observed within rich, diverse and well-preserved upper Campanian dinocyst assemblages from the Sekada, Tattofte and Bou Lila sections. Canningia wilsonii sp. nov. is a holocavate cyst, characterized by having densely...
