First record of serpulid aggregations and possible serpulid reefs from the Aptian (Cretaceous) of Algeria
First serpulid aggregations have been described from the Cretaceous of Africa. The serpulid species Parsimonia cf. antiquata formed fan-shaped small aggregations up to 25 cm in diameter. The serpulids are not preserved in situ, and most of the material may have been derived from nearby larger serpulid reefs. The serpulid reefs presumably occurred in a lagoon or marginal marine environment. The Algerian serpulid accumulations resemble more serpulid limestones in their low faunal diversity than modern serpulid reefs with diverse associating fauna. The lagoons often have muddy or sandy bottoms where the serpulid aggregations could have been the only large hard substrates for larvae to settle. The restricted number of suitable substrates may have supported the growth of aggregations. Rich suspended food resources also likely enhanced the growth of serpulid reefs in the Aptian of Algeria.
期刊介绍:
The Proceedings of the Geologists'' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.
