DEE FORAMINIFEREN DES OBEREN BUNTSANDSTEINS (RÖT) UND DES UNTEREN MUSCHELKALKS (GERMANISCHE TRIAS: SKYTH, ANIS) IN NORDHESSEN

We describe the first foraminifera from the Rot and the Lower Muschelkalk of Northern Hessen. In the Rot three lithologie horizons yielded foraminifers: (1) "Untere Bunte Schichten", (2) "Obere Bunte Schichten", and (3) "Myophorien-Schichten". In the Lower Muschelkalk the "Gelbe Grenzbank", the "Oolith-Banke", the "Untere TerebratelBanke" and the "Schaumkalk-Banke" yielded foraminifers. The Rot as well as the Muschelkalk faunas are dominated by agglutinated forms and primitive representatives of the Miliolaceae. Calcareous-walled forms are rare. Sessile forms are restricted to the crinoid-rich limestones of the "Terebratel-Banke".
