Abstract

Morphology and taphonomy of acritarchs from the Upper Riphean deposits of the Baikal Folded Region (eastern Siberia) are analyzed. The morphotypes of acritarchs are compared to various stages in the life cycle of modern green algae of the order Chlorococcales. The acritarchs Dictyotidium minor Stan. and the modern coenobial taxon Pediastrum boryanum (Turp). Menegh. showed the greatest similarity of structure.
