Dracodinium laszczynskii
Dracodinium laszczynskii Gedl, 1995, p.205, pl.7, figs.11,13.
Originally Dracodinium, subsequently (and now) Petalodinium
Holotype: Gedl, 1995, pl.7, fig.13.
Age: Early-Mid Eocene.
Original descfription (Gedl, 1995):
Description: Cyst circumcavate with strongly rounded apex and well developed paracingular horns. Antapical horns not developed or visible as two sinusoid lobations. Endocyst subcircular Pericoel continuous well developed. Endophragm and periphragm smooth. No mark fo paratabulation is visible except for intercalary archeopyle (2a) and small precingular folds on paracingular horns. Operculum detached.
Type locality: Magura Formation, lower part (Magura Nappe, Polish Flysch Carpathians). Left bank of the Rogóznik Wielkistream at Rogóznik village, 10 km west of Nowy targ.
Derivation of name: in honor of Dr. Andrzej Laszczynski, who introduced the author to the geology.
Dimensions: Length of te pericyst 80-96 µm, height 64-98 µm; endocyst 50x80 µm.
Occurrence: Lower Eocene (Ypresian) of German Lowlands (Wursterheide research well), as Dracodinium sp. 1 of Heilmann-Clausen and Costa (1980); Lower Eocene (NP11) of North Atlantic (Labrador Sea, DSDP Hole 647A), as Rhombodinium? Sp. B of Head and Norris (1989); Middle Eocene of Polish Flysch Carpathians (magura Nappe), this study.
Comparison: D. laszczynskii is distinguishable fby very weakly developed atapical horns causing its circular shape. It differs from Dracodinium condyles by smooth periphragm.
