Wille, W. and Gocht, H., 1985; Solitary and chain forming dinoflagellate cysts from the Jurassic of SW Germany. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology vol.45 pp.121-147 pl.5 (in German) Chain-forming dinoflagellate cysts have been found in marine Middle Jurassic sedi- ments of SW Germany and described as Dinaurelia pyrgos gen. nov., sp. nov. They may be closely related to Mancodinium and Dapcodinium. Speculations on the formation of the cyst chain ("cystocone") and the autecology of Dinaurelia are presented. Solitary cysts called Rosswangia simplex gen. nov., sp. nov. show a very similar general morphology.
