Abstract

In the micropaleontological study of sediments of Cretaceous and Eocene from the central region of the State of Chiapas, abundant remains of calcareous algae, both chlorophyceous and rhodophyceous, were found, which are described in this work.


Specimens of Triploporella Solenopora, Archaeolithothamnium, Lithothamnium, Litophyllum and Jania were identified, of which associated microfossil morphology and correlation of the rocks where they were found are discussed.
