Abstract
We describe here a new algal taxon observed in Tournaisian rocks of th e Horton Group, Nova Scotia. The thallus morphology suggests an udotea cean, but the central medullary tubes are divided by septiform process es, a character normally associated with the Rhodophyta. Hortonella is also recognized in Visean strata of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Albert a, and Algeria.
