Abstract
In 1970 Elliott gave a detailed description of a calcareous alga (Rhodophyta, of the family Corallinaceae), fonning protuberance–covered nodules, from early and middle Miocene of South–West Iran. With an anatomy similar to a previously described genus, Aethesolithon Johnson, he gave it the name Pseudaethesolithon iranicum. This fonn is characterized by a monostromatic hypothallus with prismatic, oblique cells on the support, followed by a perithallus made of elongated, polyhedral cells disposed in superposed and juxtapositioned lenses which constitute the protuberances of the algal nodule.
