Abstract: Rare worm tubes belonging to Mercierella Fauvel, Durandella Dragastan (formely attributed to Tintinnida)
and to a new genus named Carpathiella comprising two species were described from thin sections of Jurassic, Creta-
ceous and Paleogene marine limestones.
Key words: Jurassic, Cretaceous, Paleogene, Western Carpathians, serpulid taxonomy, worm tubes.
Introduction
Upper Jurassic, Barremian-Aptian, Senonian and Paleocene
limestones of the shallow-water facies in outcrops and espe-
cially in pebbles proceeding from younger conglomerates
(Fig. 1) contain numerous tubes of serpulid worms. The gen-
era Mercierella, Durandella and Carpathiella nov.gen. occur
rarely and are always strongly dispersed in limestones from
which they cannot be extracted. As the identification of
worm tubes was predominantly based on loose specimens,
the study of the tube structure in thin sections will be neces-
sary in the future.

Description: The species was described from Upper Ju-
rassic limestones of Romania. According to the author the
tubes have an average diameter of 0.12 mm (max. 0.5 mm).
It possesses three collars at unequally spaced distances rang-
ing between 10°
and 70°, the most frequent angles are of
50°60°. Collar length is 0.080.38 mm. Our specimen (Pl.
I: Fig. 1) bears three collars, unequally spaced, with the an-
gle 60°; inner diameter (lumen) is 0.076 mm, smaller than
noted by Dragastan. It was found in Tithonian shallow-water
limestones with Tubiphytes morronensis.
Discussion: Stratigraphical span of Mercierella (?) daci-
ca is KimmeridgeanTithonianBerriasian. It was found up
to now on the territory of Romania, Slovakia, Czech Repub-
lic, Greece, Yugoslavia and Austria. The author of the genus
Mercierella Fauvel (1923) described it from brackish water
limestones and as a reef-forming organism. Small reefs (bio-
lithosores) of recent Mercierella were described from Tunis
Bay (Lucas 1959; Davaud et al. 1994). This ecological dif-
ference of Upper Jurassic alleged representatives of the ge-

nus is another reason for the question-mark placed after the
generic name.
The same object was illustrated by Little et al. (1999: fig.
2D) from the Early Jurassic hydrothermal vent community in
Franciscan Complex and compared to the vestimentiferan
worm tubes found in the modern hydrothermal vents. At the
difference to Mercierella (?) dacica they are bigger, form
clusters and occur in deep water sediments.
Microfossils similar to Mercierella (?)
Pl. I: Figs. 212
Discussion: It is clear that from the random sections Mer-
cierella (?) dacica cannot be determined with certainty. Lon-
gitudinal sections in Pl. I: Figs. 6, 10 could really represent
the oral part of that species. The specimens in Pl. I: Figs. 23
probably belong to another species; they display two collars,
longer than those of M. (?) dacica and posses vertically os-
cillating diameters. The specimen in Pl. I: Fig. 11 is really a
new species designated by us Mercierella (?) sp. 1 with the
diameter 0.076 mm. It is remarkable for a double collar
branching from the same point. Dragastan (1966, p. 148)
wrote that the tubes have a bilamellar structure and the outer
layer shows fibres arranged radially on the inner wall. The
cross-section in the center of Pl. I: Fig. 9 shows that the non-
recrystallized tube had a structure formed by vertical fibres,
parallel with the tubes. It comes from the same rock speci-
men as the typical M. dacica (Fig. 1).
A circular continuous collar in the oblique sections like Pl.
I: Figs. 45, is expected to be broader, which is not the case.
The cross-section through the collar zone should show a dou-
ble ring illustrated by Dragastan (1966: fig. 2). It should be
stressed that we found no section with such a double ring and
none of the other authors have mentioned or illustrated it. It
is probable that some of the collars illustrated here (Pl. I:
Figs. 25, 79) might be whorls of fibres. That is clear from
the specimen in the Pl. I: Fig. 12, designated by us as Ae-
olisaccus cf. kotori Radoièiæ 1972, considered by the author
as incertae sedis; De Castro (1975) attributed it to Cy-
anoshizophyta. Our specimen differs from A. kotori by its
narrower tube, thinner wall and stratigraphical horizon (Up-
per Jurassic; the span of A. kotori is Albian to Paleocene).
The genus Aeolisaccus was described by Elliott (1958) and
characterized as a small tube open at both ends. Zaninetti
(1976) rearranged all so far known species of Aeolisaccus in
the foraminiferal genus Earlandia. It is, however, strange
that the supposed proloculum was never found and the single
case illustrated by Brönnimann et al. (1972: Pl. 3Fig. 1)
can be ascribed to a compactional deformation of the tube.
The differentiation of Earlandia (or Aeolisaccus) from the
specimens similar to Mercierella is mostly impossible in the
cross-sections. However, the first one has a larger time span
from Triassic to Cretaceous, while all the specimens illustrat-
ed on Pl. I as similar to Mercierella (?) come from the Upper
Jurassic limestones containing Tubiphytes morronensis and
occur rarely (mostly one specimen in a thin section). The in-
ner diameter of the specimens similar to M. dacica illustrated
in Pl. I oscillated between 0.040 and 0.090 mm with the aver-
age about 0.070 mm.

Description: The tube consists of two distinct layers.
The inner layer is dark (microcrystalline calcite), outer one is
clear (white). The clear layer is thinning towards the lower
part of the tube; in the mouth it forms a club-shape collar in
longitudinal section. The dimensions: max. inner diameter
(lumen) is 0.70 mm, the width of the collar is 0.09 mm.
Remark: Dragastan (1970) ranged his new genus Duran-
della to Tintinnida according to the alleged similarity to the
recent genus Thythocorys Tappan & Loeblich 1968. Howev-
er, the object in his figure 2 clearly belongs to the worm
tubes. He compared the so-called perforated calcitic lamella
in the mouth to the oral diaphragma typical for some recent

Derivation of name: Triangulata after irregularly tri-
angular cross-section.
Material: Eight sections of tubes from limestones of Up-
per Jurassic and Barremian-Aptian age.
Diagnosis: The tube consists of one layer, sometimes
with a thin dark micritized rim on its outer and rarely also in
its inner side. The calcite fibres in the tube are radially ar-
ranged. In the acute corner of the triangle a dark line (suture)
is present, it may rarely be replaced by a narrow canal (Pl. II:
Fig. 5). The longitudinal section of the tube is irregularly
curved with oscillating thickness (Pl. II: Fig. 9).
Description: The largest diameter of the tube oscillates
between 0.451.12 mm. The lumen is between 0.180.60
mm. The length cannot be measured.
Localities: Seven localities are cited in the caption of
Plate II. Other localities: Chvalová-II-16, Upper Jurassic,

rassic, pebble from the Paleogene conglomerates.

Tithonian, the same as that one illustrated by Dragastan

the voids gradually evolve in the anterior part of the tube.
Description: The diameter of the tube was between 0.62
and 1.92 mm; the holotype0.91 mm and the width of the
wall0.18 mm.
Remark: Samuel et al. (1972: Pl. CLXXIVfig. 2 and
Pl. CLXXVfig. 4) designated our Carpathiella perforata
as cf. Haliotus. They have mistaken objects figured by Ma-
jewske (1969: Pl. 14 fig. 1) where the gastropod Haliotus
is accompanied by an annelid tube.

Thick one-layered very irregular tube with radially ar-
ranged calcite fibres. The mouth of the tube is club-shaped,
formed by spherolitic aggregate of thin fibres (white colour
on the Pl. III: Fig. 4). In some oblique sections thin pores
(channels) can be seen (Pl. III: Fig. 6). Numerous localities
of the Upper Jurassic and especially Barremian-Aptian lime-
stone (Urgonian facies).
