Abstract
Palynological analysis of 24 subsurface samples (cores) from Ordovicia n rocks of the Tadla Basin, western Meseta, Morocco, has permitted us to identify five chitinozoan assemblages of late Arenig, latest Arenig , early Llandeilo, early Caradoc and late Ashgill age. Two new species Laufeldochitina protolardeuxi nov. sp. and Lagenochitina spinatostoma nov. sp. are proposed in this paper. Comparison of these assemblages with contemporary assemblages from North Africa and southwestern Europ e show their stratigraphic position and identifies taxon with a strati graphic potential.
