Abstract
An outcrop identified within the Upper Jurassic deposits of the Cioclovina-Băniţa area (Southern Carpathians) most likely corresponds to a cavern fill. In several lithoclasts of this fill, including black-pebbles, a dasycladalean alga with morphological features that differentiate it from all other Jurassic–Cretaceous dasycladales with two orders of laterals was observed. It is described in the present work as a new species of a new genus: Schlagintweitella inopinata nov. gen., nov. sp.
