| R. Kozłowski (1974) reported accumulations of organic vesicles from Ordovician calcareous glacial bulders found in Tertiary deposits in Poland. He interpreted them as eggs of polychete annelids (Polychaeta). Kozłowski's material was reexamined with TEM methods and reinterpreted as presumably blue-green algae (Cyanophyta) or Cyanobacteria. Each specimen, about 1 mm in size, represents irregular accumulation o fine (15-30 micrometers) vesicles. |
