The green alga Botryococcus is an important component of the phytoplankton in lake sediments from the Rotliegend of Central Europe. The first microscopic fossils from the Saar-Nahe Basin that can be assigned to this genus are described and illustrated here. Their distribution at various stratigraphic levels shows that the primary production of the lakes was at least partially controlled by these green algae. The frequency of fossils in the sediments is correlated with grain size, which varied with the depositional environment. Their abundance is greater in sediments deposited in shallow water, especially in small lakes and in the littoral environments of larger lakes. Sediments of deep-water lake bottoms contain only minor amounts of algal remains. The abundance of kerogen originating from phytoplankton and occurrences of Botryococcus fossils are correlated in these lake deposits. |
